Using a fine grater, grate the rind from the lemon. In a bowl, squeeze the lemon juice. Add the rind (keep some for the toppings) the wine, and the brandy. Mix together.
In a bowl, with a stand mixer or hand mixer whip the heavy cream and sugar together until you start to see soft peaks.
Add the liquid mixture to the whipped cream slowly and whisk all the time.
Slowly spoon the mixture into 4 tall serving glasses, cold of course, and chill until needed. Serve with a lemon rind on top. You can also add slices of lemon to decorate.
Notes
Kitchen tips: You can make the Lemon Syllabub one day ahead, as it keeps well overnight in the fridge. There, in about 15 minutes, you have created a quintessentially Olde English “sweet” for the grown-ups.
