For that extra bit of wow.
Ingredients
- Flavouring (see variations below for quantities)
- 300ml (1/2 pint) milk
- 1 tsp soya lecithin granules
- Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
Method
- Place the flavouring variation in a pan with the milk and cook gently for 10-15 minutes, until the garlic has softened and is completely tender (if making the garlic variation).
- Blitz with a hand blender and pass through a fine sieve into a clean pan. Keep warm.
- Add the soya lecithin granules to the pan, whisking until smooth. Season to taste and bring to the boil, then blitz with a hand blender to create a foam by bringing the head of the blender from the very bottom of the pan to the top of the liquid. Use immediately.
