Here's the menu for tonight's dinner. I'll give post-game tomorrow.
I'm really excited about this iteration of the Earthy Burg, no. 4. I'm using sous vide to extract juice from strawberries leaving behind the flesh. I'm blending that juice with my dried shiitake ratio. Tannins (black tea syrup) and aroma (strawberry-tarragon tincture) complete the drink.
No. 4 is going to be good.

Could you provide some details on how to extract the strawberries using sous-vide? Time? Temperature?
I would also like to find out how to use sous-vide to infuse fruit with herbs if you have any info.
