Melt the YUZU INSPIRATION.
Heat the almond drink and acacia honey, then pour a third of this mixture onto the melted YUZU INSPIRATION.
Mix vigorously and add another third in the same way.
Do the same with the last third.
Blend with an immersion blender to perfect the emulsion.
Pour the mixture out into a rectangular container so that it sets more effectively and cover its surface with plastic wrap.
