Ingredients

  • 1 liters Carrot Juice
  • 3 dl Tangerine Juice
  • 5 gram Soy Lecithin
  • Fresh thyme
  • Cardamom ground

Instructions

  • Preparation
  • Mandarin Granité
  • Place the mandarin juice in a wide-open container, so you can easily access the juice with a syringe after decanting.
  • Let the mandarin juice sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours to allow it to settle. 
  • Carefully take the juice out of the fridge.
  • Using a syringe, draw the clear liquid from the top of the juice. Remove it all, leaving you with a concentrated mandarin juice.
  • Freeze the concentrated mandarin juice in a small, flat container.
  • After a few hours, make a slush ice out of the frozen mandarin concentrate. Use a fork to stir the juice.
  • Place the liquid back in the freezer.
  • "Carrot Foam"
  • Pour the juice into a tall, narrow container.
  • Sprinkle soy lecithin on top.
  • Cover half the container with plastic wrap to prevent the juice from splashing out.
  • Store the carrot juice in the fridge until you're ready to serve your guests.
  •  
  • Assembling your appetizer:
  • Take the carrot juice from the fridge and make carrot foam by blending the juice.
  • Use an immersion blender and hold it halfway down in the liquid to blend air into the juice.
  • Let the carrot foam rest for 1 minute before using it.
  • Take the frozen mandarin concentrate out of the freezer.
  • Use a fork to soften it and place a couple of spoonfuls at the bottom of each serving glass.
  • Add a pinch of ground cardamom and 3-4 thyme leaves.
  • Using a slotted spoon, place an adequate amount of carrot foam on top of the frozen mandarin concentrate.
  • Garnish with a few thyme leaves on top.
  • Serve immediately
