Wikipedia
Syllabub
Syllabub is a sweet dish made by curdling sweet cream or milk with an acid such as wine or cider. It was a popular British confection from the 16th to the 19th centuries.Early recipes for syllabub are for a drink of cider with milk. By the 17th century it had evolved into a type of dessert made with sweet white wine. More wine could be added to make a punch, but it could also be made to have a thicker consistency that could be eaten with a spoon, used as a topping for trifle, or to dip fingers of sponge cake into. The holiday punch, sweet and frothy, was often considered a ladies' drink. The milk and cream used in those days would have been thicker and modern recipes may need to make some adjustments to achieve the same effect.

syllabub
Syllabub is a traditional English dessert, popular from the 16th to 19th centuries. It is made from rich milk or cream that is sweetened with sugar and flavored with wine, cider, or a spirit, often combined with lemon juice or zest. It is typically whipped to a froth, creating a light, mousse-like texture. The combination of acid and alcohol causes the cream to curdle slightly, giving it a unique texture. It's usually served chilled and may be garnished with fresh fruits or spices.
