Experiments in Molecular Gastronomy

For science, we did a little molecular gastronomy experiment with lemon juice, water, and Soy lecithin (sounds fancy, doesn't it). Skyla did everything herself, except measure out the water and lemon juice and open the packet of soy lecithin. After mixing, she ended up with a lemon foam that could be scooped out and maintained its foamy shape for a few hours.

Pouring in 2/3 cup lemon juice
Add soy lecithin powder
Mix with an immersion blender to get a layer of foam
Skyla tries the final product. It tasted very much like a lemon had been turned into foam--quite sour!
Skyla likes lemon juice on sliced bananas, so this was a great mess-free way to add the lemon juice.
