Lemon Posset

Another one of Chef Jeffrey's dessert creations based on a hot English drink made of curdled milk and ale.  Served chilled, this dessert is a light and delightful end for dinner. You will love how simple this three ingredient recipe is to make. 

To good times with great food,

 Patty
