Instructions
- Put mozzarella into the siphon canister with a generous sprig of basil.
- Charge the canister twice, then let it rest for about a minute.
- Release the gas, remove the mozzarella and basil, and taste — it comes out rich with basil scent and flavor, as if infused directly with the herb.
- This technique naturally extends to other chilled aromatic dishes, such as aromatic tomatoes.
