Advice

Use freshly squeezed lemon and a tight dry shake for a stable, glossy foam. 🥂

Why it works 💡
Dry shaking denatures egg proteins so they trap fine air bubbles; the wet shake chills and sets the texture.

Twist 🌿
Swap lemon for yuzu juice: use 20 ml (1 tbsp + 1 tsp / ⅔ fl oz) and reduce syrup to 5 ml (1 tsp / 0.17 fl oz) for a floral, zesty profile.
