18. Step 18

    Add the sliced lemon and stir a little. Leave to infuse for 5 minutes then strain through a chinois and pass through a cheesecloth, without any of the sediment. You will get approximately 6 litres. We add 20g of salt for each 6 litres we get

    For the tempura batter, first dilute the yeast in 100g of water and then add the other 100g of water. Mix the flour and the trisol together with the salt and sugar. Add the yeasty water bit by bit while mixing with a whisk so that you avoid any lumps forming. Ferment in a warm place for 1 hour

24. Step 24

    Cut the codium into the shape of a coral and heat the sunflower oil up to 180°C for deep frying

25. Step 25

    Using tongs, dip the codium in the tempura batter. Fry in the hot oil until crisp, then drain on absorbent paper. Set aside in a food dehydrator at 60°C until ready to serve

26. Step 26

    Cook each of the sea mosses separately in sea water for 10 minutes, then cool each of them quickly in ice-cold sea water
