Milk, chamomile and loquats

To begin, make the milk ice cream. Heat the milk, milk powder, carob seed flour and sugar in a saucepan and simmer until dissolved. Churn the mixture in an ice-cream machine or transfer to a Pacojet container and freeze

To make the wafer, simmer the milk over a low heat until reduced to 300ml. Whisk in the gelatine until dissolved, then spread on a silicone baking mat and place in a low oven (or dehydrator) until dry and crispy

Preheat a water bath to 72°C

Make a syrup for the loquats by dissolving the sugar in the water over a low heat. Peel the loquats, transfer to a vacuum bag and pour in the syrup. Seal in a chamber sealer and cook in a water bath for 30 minutes

Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3

To make the crumb, rub the butter with the flour until you achieve a heavy breadcrumb consistency then mix with the sugar, salt and chamomile powder. Bake for 20 minutes, giving it a stir with a fork after 10 minutes to achieve even colour

For the almond and chamomile cream, blend the almonds, bitter almond, milk and chamomile until smooth in a blender. Pass through a fine sieve to obtain a cream

When the milk wafer is dry and crisp, break into shards

To assemble the dish, place a quenelle of milk ice cream onto a spoon of crumble. Break up the wafer and balance on the ice cream, spoon the cream onto the plate and arrange the loquat and candied mandarin around the plate
