03 — Method
- Make the syrup: boil the water and sugar in the saucepan for 3 minutes until fully dissolved.
- Off the heat, add the lemon zest and fleur de sel, cover and let infuse 20 minutes.
- Juice the lemons to get 350 ml (1½ cups) of fresh juice, free of pulp and seeds.
- Mix the cooled syrup with the strained lemon juice until perfectly smooth.
- Refrigerate 4 hours so the mixture is very cold before churning; it will set faster.
- Beat the egg white to soft peaks and add it halfway through churning for a lighter texture.
- Churn 25 minutes in the ice cream maker until creamy, then transfer to the freezer for 2 hours to firm up.
