Orangina

The iconic French sparkling orange drink with real pulp, traditionally shaken before serving to wake the citrus sediment.

Ingredients

• 700g beef chuck
• 400g puff pastry
• 1 tbsp sliced leeks
• 1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 200g celery stalks
• a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
• Gruyère cheese, for serving
• 400ml chicken stock

• 1 cup pearl onions, sliced

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine the brioche and beef stock in a saucepan, blender, or pitcher, stirring well.

2. 2

   Add the grated nutmeg and Gruyère cheese, stirring gently so their flavor infuses the mixture.

3. 3

   Heat gently over low heat (or blend, or steep, depending on the drink) until well combined and fragrant, about 0 mins.

4. 4

   Strain through a fine sieve to remove any solids, if needed.

5. 5

   Sweeten to taste with unsalted butter, adjusting gradually until the balance feels right.

6. 6

   Chill in the refrigerator, or pour straight over ice, depending on whether it is served cold or hot.

7. 7

   Garnish with chervil just before serving.
