Tillandsia's Quill
The rachis is created of succor vines. Peel the fibers into thin strands, then re-braid them to a half-centimeter thickness, fire them briefly, then cover with chocolate and set into a freezer. Once chilled and stiff, remove, affix a small, seasonal berry against the bottom, and then cover with chocolate again repeatedly until the desired thickness is reached.
Once you are ready to begin construction of the vane, affix rachis to the rack, making sure they are attached surely. Thereafter, combine aforementioned amounts of sugar, water, and maize syrup in the labeled saucepan over MH heat, stir until grains of sugar dissolve. Thereafter cover the saucepan with respective lid, let boil for 2-3 min, then continue to boil the syrup while stirring until a thermometer inserted yields a degree of 31.
Please be aware. At the conclusion of this step of preparation, the sugar will cook quickly and may burn.
Once the proper yield is reached, remove the saucepan from heat and place the bottom immediately into aforementioned tub of ice water to prevent further cooking of sugar. Allowing the blende to stand for a minute or two will allow it to thicken slightly.
A simple fork will do for this next portion; take it, dip the tines into the syrup, and stir until the tines are well-congealed. Remove the fork then and hold it a handsbreadth above the rachis rack; then, very quickly, flick the fork back and forth over the rachis. The syrup should create very fine strands of sugar that drape over the rachis. If the strands are not fine but contain many bead-like globes, or else of the syrup does not create the intended filament-like effect, allow the syrup to cool another minute. If instead the filaments are lumpy and difficult to form, repeat reheating the syrup, briefly.
Pursue dipping and flicking the fork over the rachis to create many filaments. It is fine of many of the filaments over-lap with other rachis, but strive for horizontal strands only. Once finished, place the fork in a safe location and then take small scissors and begin to snip a "feather-like" shape around each rachis, that is, a vane. Be mindful of the sparse nature of a feather's afterfeather and down.
Congratulations! You have created a Tillandsia's Quill. Place finished quills on a rack and leave them in the appropriate area for further processing and placement into other dishes.
