Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 grams Fresh tarragon leaves
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 500 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg white
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved (approximately 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
2. While the syrup is cooling, finely chop the tarragon leaves. You can use a knife or a food processor for a finer consistency.
3. Once the syrup has cooled, stir in the chopped tarragon and lemon juice. Mix well to ensure the tarragon flavor infuses evenly.
4. Transfer the mixture to a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible. Discard the solids.
6. In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Gently fold it into the tarragon mixture to create a smoother texture.
7. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a slushy consistency.
8. Transfer the churned mixture to a lidded, freezer-safe container. Freeze for 2-3 hours, or until firm.
9. Prior to serving, let the Tarragon Ice sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and serve immediately.
