We just picked up our very first Isi. Lots of fun. Working on a recipe for tobacco foam for a tomato dish coming up with a pairing dinner.
1000g water
150g sugar
10g cigar wrapper
7g salt
1g sassparilla root
2 coffee beans
7 sheets gelatin
Bloom the gelatin in cold water and squeeze out excess. Combine with sassparilla, coffee bean and cigar wrapper in medium container. Bring the water, sugar and salt to a boil and pour over the cigar wrapper. Cover and steep 2 hours. Strain. Load 500g liquid into the isi canister while warm. 2 charges. Shock in ice water immediately and shake every 5 minutes, until gelatin has set. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Late Summer Tomatoes
strawberry, tobacco, nicoise olive
Also made a great mousse:
100g dark chocolate
50g milk
30g sugar
3.5 salt
Warm everything and load. 2 charges. Keep warm.

Ahh, so that's what makes the foam.
Tobacco foam sounds more appetizing after reading the ingredients.
Once I had a tobacco martini and it was disgusting. But this person just steeped tobacco leaves in a bottle of vodka for a few weeks and made a martini out of it. It burned my throat and tasted like spittoon juice.
