Master's Tips
Professional insights to elevate your craft
A 'dry blend' (blending without ice first) is crucial for emulsifying the egg white and cream to build the foam's structure.
Never blend the soda water; it is added at the end to activate the foam and cause it to rise.
Using a pre-chilled glass is non-negotiable to prevent the frozen drink from melting and separating.
