Peach Tea and Berry Gelatin Terrine
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons powdered gelatin
- 5 cups hot, brewed peach tea
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups mixed berries such as raspberries, blueberries or whole small strawberries
- *1 egg white
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Fresh mint sprigs
- Fresh lavender sprigs
- Fresh thyme sprigs
- To make the Terrine: Pour 2 tablespoons cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface.
- Let sponge, allowing the gelatin to absorb the water, about 3 minutes.
- While the tea is still hot, add the sponged gelatin, sugar and honey and whisk until dissolved.
- Set aside and let the gelatin relax and mature and cool at the same rate as the liquid so it doesn't separate when chilling.
- Place the berries in a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan or divide them among individual molds.
- Pour in the peach liquid.
- Refrigerate until chilled and firm, at least 3 hours.
- To make the garnish: Whisk the egg white in a bowl to break up the tightness of the albumin.
- Spread the sugar out in a shallow bowl.
- Dip herb sprigs (the tops) and leaves (the larger bottom ones) in the egg white, shake them off a bit then dredge in the sugar.
- Set on a wire rack to dry a few minutes or overnight.
- When ready to serve, dip the bottom of the pan into hot water for 10 seconds.
- Flip the terrine out onto a serving platter and garnish with the herb sprigs.
- Serve in slices.
