BANANA/ROSES MOUSSE
A mousse at the same time drink, cream, snack, dessert. Torn (fragrant) rose petals mixed with sugar, a few drops of lemon juice, all combined with banana and an almond and oatmeal vegetable drink and here is a wonderful, deliciously scented mousse.
*Choose fragrant roses, pick them well open preferably in the morning before the sun is too hot, the petals when ripe should detach easily from the peduncle. For their flavor to be as powerful as possible, they must be crumpled and torn with your fingers, but above all not with a knife or scissors, which would only exacerbate their bitterness. Then adding the sugar will preserve the petals and imprison the flavors.
The rose petals can be replaced by rose water or 1 to 2 drops of Palmarosa essential oils, it is always best to ask the pharmacist for advice.
**Oats and almonds to prepare a vegetable drink.
Per person :
2 plump ladles of torn rose petals*
2 tbsp powdered sugar
½ very ripe peeled banana
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp of almonds**
1 tbsp rolled oats**
In a bowl place the almonds and rolled oats. Add lukewarm water to level +1 level, mix and set aside. Place the petals in a salad bowl, add the sugar, mix and set aside. Mix the banana with the lemon juice and set aside.
In a salad bowl (or a large jar), pour the 3 preparations and mix them 3 or 4 times, leaving to rest between each “mixing”. If the preparation is too thick, just add water and mix again. Place in the fridge and mix 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Nice kitchen to all, Régine
