My files mention that there are several syllabub recipes in "A
Sip Through Time". This file in the BEVERAGES section of my
Florilegium mentions several other sources for period recipes but
there are none in the file itself:
beverages-msg     (93K)  9/ 3/99    Beverages in general. alcholic drinks.

Here is the message about other sources. This message does imply that 
they may not be proveably period though:
