      ​

      Preparation

      • Pour the whipped cream into a saucepan.

      • Add the sugar and bring to the boil while stirring.

      • Turn the heat down and let the cream boil for a minute.

      • Turn off the heat and let the cream cool.

      • Stir in the lemon juice (you can add the lemon zest if necessary).
        The acid causes the cream to thicken.

      • Pour the liquid into 4 glasses or bowls.

      • Put a mint leaf on it.

      • Cover with cling film and let the possets set in the refrigerator for at least five hours.
