Ingredients

  • 300 ml Double cream
  • 60 g Caster sugar
  • 1 Lemon

  • Chop the lemon in half or bruise the lemongrass

  • Take the pan off the heat and stir in the lemon.
  • Strain this into a jug and cool for 20 minutes.
  • If you wish to put a crumbled biscuit in the bottom of the receptacle – this is the time to do it. If not gently pour the cream into the glasses.
