Lemon foam can be savory or sweet. When savory, it is a light, velvety and lemony dish to accompany your vegetables or to have a snack. When sweet, it is still velvety and lemony but it has a sweetness added by the sugar, making it ideal for a light dessert; you'll need a whipping siphon to make the sweet version.

3 egg yolks
5 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (optional)

Sweet lemon foam :

Gently warm until the ingredients dissolve into each other.
Leave until it is has become cold.
Fold in the egg white and lemon juice. Stir by hand to blend it all together.
Shake vigorously.
It should appear light and velvety without being stiff. You'll need to charge it again if the foam disappears too fast.
