Methods and Directions

• Infuse 2 teaspoons of chamomile flowers with boiling water for 2 minutes for a mild infusion.
• Allow to cool.
• Place a few flowers in each compartment of an ice cube tray.
• Pour over infusion and freeze.

• Strain.

• Purée persimmons and cardamom and strain through a fine sieve.
• Add 3.2g of Algin per 500ml liquid and blend to dissolve and combine.
• Pour into a piping bag and leave to hang in fridge for 2 hours to allow any air to dissipate.
• Make Calcic bath by dissolving 6.4g of Calcic in 1 litre of cold water.
