Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
To make the thickest, most stable foam, use an egg white from a very fresh, cold egg and ensure that no yolk contaminates it during separation.
Preparation Tip 2
Pour the drink gently and gradually into a chilled coupe glass, allowing the dense, creamy head to form and keep its shape.
