recipes

In order to show HOW versatile the scent and taste of the lemon is, I sought out recipes from many scopes of applications (collection will continue to be added)

One drop corresponds to approx. 0.03ml

„Summer Beauty“

25ml dist. water

25ml 96% alcohol

10 drops bergamot

7tr. lemon

10 drops of pink grapefruit

2 drops peppermint

Shake and use as a spray.

Lemon ice cream

2 egg whites (M)

75g sugar

400 ripe mango (1 ripe mango)

220ml buttermilk

150g sour cream (10% fat)

1 organic lemon

4 sprigs of mint

mint oil

-Fill the pot with about 3 cm of water for a double boiler. Place the metal bowl in the pot so that it does not touch the water.

-In a metal bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar over medium-high heat using a whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form; the water in the pot should not boil. Take the bowl out of the water bath.

– Allow the egg whites to cool and then divide the lukewarm egg whites into 3 portions.

– Halve the mango and set aside one half. Finely puree the other half and fold in 1 portion of egg whites.

-Mix the buttermilk and sour cream until smooth. Fold in the remaining portions of beaten egg white, halve the mixture.

– Finely grate half the lemon zest. Halve and squeeze the lemon. Mix 1 tsp lemon juice and the lemon zest with 1 half of the egg white mixture.

Set aside a few mint leaves and finely chop the rest. Stir 2-3 drops of mint oil into the remaining whipped cream mixture.

Pour the mango, lemon and mint mixture into a freezer-safe bowl. Cover with cling film or aluminum foil and freeze for about 2 hours, stirring with a hand blender about every 30 minutes.

Peel the remaining half of the mango and cut into wedges.

Allow the ice cream to thaw briefly so that it becomes more malleable. Using a small ice cream scoop, form 4 balls of each type of ice cream and divide into 4 glasses or bowls.

Garnish with mango slices, mint leaves and possibly a few strips of lemon zest and serve immediately.

When the yoghurt starts to set, fold in the cream first, then the egg whites. Chill for 2-3 hours.

Peel the grapefruits so that the white skin is completely removed.

Remove the pulp from the membranes and mix with the remaining sugar and orange juice in a bowl. Arrange fruit fillets on plates. Use a warm spoon to scoop out dumplings from the lemon mousse and arrange on the grapefruit fillets.

Lemon escalope on spinach leaves

1 clove of garlic

5 tablespoons mild olive oil

900 g spinach leaves, frozen

Lemon Diet.

different variants

Classically, with the lemon diet, nothing is eaten for about 7 to 10 days, only drunk. But plenty of it: per day, the juice of 3 to 8 lemons is diluted with water, maple syrup and seasoned with cayenne pepper are consumed.

With the other variants, you either eat normally or follow a special nutrition plan. If eaten normally, the pure or diluted lemon juice serves as a support. He should heat up the fat metabolism and curb appetite. The diet plan has a specific theme for each day: For example, eat as little sugar as possible on one day. At another, whole grain products take center stage. A total of five meals a day are allowed.
