To make zuppa inglese, you'll need: 1 cup (240 ml) water, 1 teaspoon (2.5 g) salt, 2 tablespoons (0.5 oz) sugar, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups (470 milliliters) of heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately.
