For the Blackcurrant Foam
At least 4 hours before serving
Taste the blackcurrant juice and add sugar or honey to sweeten it if needed.
Pour 75 to 100 grams of blackcurrant juice into a pot with the gelatin. Let the gelatin bloom for 5 to 10 minutes.
Once the gelatin has bloomed heat the pot over medium to medium-high heat while stirring until the gelatin has dissolved and is evenly dispersed. Stir in the remaining blackcurrant juices.
Pour the blackcurrant mixture into a whipping siphon and charge with nitrous oxide according to the manufacturer's directions. Refrigerate the whipping siphon until the gelatin sets, typically 2 to 3 hours.
Dispense the foam when you are ready to serve your dishes.
Store the charged whipping siphon refrigerated for up to 3–4 days; dispense fresh before serving.
