00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:03.880
I'm with Felix Cohen, who runs the Manhattans Project.

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:04.500
Hi there!

3
00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:06.200
Tell them something they don't know!

4
00:00:06.420 --> 00:00:11.080
So we're going to look at how to do flames out of citrus peels today.

5
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:13.520
First of all, I'm going to get a drink that we can actually flame,

6
00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:14.600
and make it worthwhile.

7
00:00:15.180 --> 00:00:17.380
So we're going to make a Mandarin Sour with Mandarin Napoleon

8
00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:21.940
We're going to get a double shot of that, the juice of half a lemon

9
00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:27.660
a little bit of sugar syrup going in there. And then also the white of an egg.

10
00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:34.440
And we're going to take an orange. You want to get a nice firm peel on the orange

11
00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:37.600
So this is not a particularly big one but it's got a good feel to it.

12
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.640
And you're going to want to cut a piece roughly the size of a £2 coin.

13
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.480
Try not to bend it at any point. You'll want to keep it as flat as possible.

14
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:48.760
We've got just a little bit of pith on the back of that.

15
00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:53.540
And then grab a lighter. I like to use a Zippo for this, 'cos you get a better flame out of it

16
00:00:53.540 --> 00:00:56.640
but matches are also good or even just a petrol lighter.

17
00:00:57.740 --> 00:01:00.980
You're going to hold the flame between the orange peel and the glass

18
00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:05.640
and you're going to have the orange peel between first fingers and your thumb. Making sure not to bend it.

19
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.160
And you just want to warm it up gently here.

20
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:14.140
and that is just breaking open a whole bunch of vessels in the skin of the orange that hold the orange oil

21
00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:16.140
which is what we're going to set on fire.

22
00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:19.900
So once you've warmed it, just hold the flame between it and gently pinch

23
00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:27.080
and you'll get a nice flame out of the orange which is burning the oils and gives the drink a really delicious smell.

24
00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:30.960
-- Thank you very much, Felix!
-- Thank you. Cheers!

25
00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:32.960
-- That is something you might not have known.

26
00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:36.240
