Method

Combine the milk, parsley stalks, bay leaf, onion, mace, and peppercorns in a small pan.

Season to taste and serve immediately in a warm jug.

Stir in the chopped parsley, cream, and lemon juice.

Reduce heat to the lowest setting and cook gently for several minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the flour and butter to the pan and bring to a simmer while whisking continuously until smooth.

Strain the cold milk back into the pan and discard the aromatic flavourings.

Bring the mixture slowly to a simmer, then pour into a bowl and cool completely.
