Xmas junket

Makes 500ml. You could use cacao powder and make a chocolate one.

Ingredients

500ml full cream milk, you could use some cream in the mix if you want it creamier

1-3 tbsp coconut nectar, honey, maple or rice malt syrup, start with 1 tbsp and taste

½ 1 tsp ground cinnamon- start with ½ tsp and taste

¼ tsp ground clove

¼ tsp ground  nutmeg

1 junket tablet, you find these at the supermarket near the long life custards and jellies

Method

Get a 500ml serving bowl or 4x 125ml smaller ones for individual serves.

Whisk the milk with the spices and sweetener. The spices will tend to float on top when you pour it in your dish. Dissolves your junket tablet in 1 tbsp cold water. Make sure its fully dissolved.

In a medium pot warm the milk to blood temp, or 37 degrees.  I stir the milk with my finger. This is the temperature you would use for a baby bottle or baby bath. If it is too hot it won’t work very well.

Take off and whisk in your junket/water. Pour into your serving dishes and let them sit undisturbed for 15 minutes. Do not move it in this 15 minutes or it will disturb the curds!

Then carefully put in the fridge to set for an hour or so. Serve up with cream and/or fruit.
