Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Blend water with cilantro, habanero, lime juice, and zest until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove solids.
Stir in lecithin powder and salt until fully dissolved.
Use an immersion blender to froth the liquid in a mug until a foam forms.
Spoon foam onto dishes immediately for the best texture.
For less heat, ensure the habanero is fully seeded before blending.
Experiment with different herbs and citrus combinations for unique flavors.
Use the foam as a garnish for soups, salads, or grilled dishes for an elegant touch.
Can I use a different herb instead of cilantro?
Yes, you can substitute cilantro with parsley, basil, or mint depending on your flavor preference.
What is soy lecithin powder and where can I find it?
Soy lecithin powder is an emulsifier that helps create foam. It can be found in health food stores or online.
Can I make the foam ahead of time?
Foam is best used immediately after preparation for optimal texture. It may lose its structure if stored.
How spicy is this foam?
The spice level depends on whether the habanero is seeded. Removing seeds reduces the heat significantly.
Can I use a regular blender instead of an immersion blender?
A regular blender can blend the ingredients, but an immersion blender is ideal for creating the foam.
