Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 to 6 large fresh lemons
  • 20 grams unflavored high-bloom gelati
  • 3/4 cup ultra-fine granulated sugar
  • 1.5 cups filtered water
  • pinch fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Pour 1/2 cup of cold filtered water into a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the surface and let it bloom for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Zest three lemons into a saucepan with 1.5 cups of water and 3/4 cup of sugar. Heat over medium-low until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
  3. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm syrup, stirring gently until fully incorporated.
  4. Juice the lemons to obtain 1 cup and add to the gelatin mixture with a pinch of salt, stirring slowly.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a mold and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours until set.

Notes

Avoid using bottled lemon juice; always use fresh ingredients for the best results. Handle gelatin with care to ensure a perfect set.
