Method
For the gelatin
- Soak the gelatin in water. Add half the tonic water and dissolve over low heat.
- Transfer to a bowl and gradually add the gin and the remaining tonic water, being careful not to form bubbles.
- Place in the refrigerator to set.
For the lemon sauce
- Remove the peel from the lemon and cut into thin julienne strips.
- Bring the water, sugar and lemon peel to a boil.
- Cook until thickened to the desired consistency, then add the juice of the lemon. Stir in the finely diced juniper berries.
For the tuiles
- Thoroughly combine all the ingredients for the tuiles. Spread a thin layer of batter over a Sil-pat.
- Place in a 200° C (400° F) oven for 5 minutes. Remove, let cool and cut into irregular pieces.
For the lemon sorbet
- Juice the lemons to obtain 250 ml (1 cup) juice.
- Bring the water and sugar to a boil and let cool. Once cool, add the lemon juice and grated zest.
- Mix well and place into an ice cream maker.
- Beat the egg whites to soft peaks and add to the sorbet when half-frozen. Continue processing until frozen.
Presentation
- On one side of the plate, layer gelatin and pieces of tuile to create a “mille-feuilles.”
