Meringue in Elderflower Custard

Made in the style of floating islands, this is a dessert for a special occasion, as it is somewhat time-consuming to make, but well worth the effort. The dish is made in several stages: first the milk is infused with elderflowers, then the meringue is made and poached in the milk. The meringues are put to one side while the custard is made with the milk. Finally, the custard is cooled, the meringues floated on top and the dessert chilled until required.
