Lemon Zefir 🍋

Pour 300 g of apple juice into a saucepan.

Add 10-12 g of agar-agar and 220-240 g of granulated sugar.

Mix thoroughly.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the syrup for 5-7 minutes until it reaches 105-107°C (if using a thermometer).

To test the syrup without a thermometer, scoop up a small amount with a spoon—the drop should form a 'thread' and hold its shape.

Meanwhile, place 105 g of pasteurized egg whites into the mixer bowl.

Start whipping at medium speed until a light foam forms and the color changes to white (do not whip to stiff peaks!).

Gradually, in small portions, add 105 g of granulated sugar while continuing to whip.
