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.
