Place 1 almond macaroon at the bottom of each cup.
In a double boiler whisk together lemon juice, egg yolks, wine, 90 g sugar, lemon zest and potato starch.
Cook, while stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens somewhat. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little.
Beat the egg whites with the 90 g of sugar until stiff peaks form.
Divide the egg yolk mixture (custard) into the 7 cups.
Top with the egg whites and sprinkle on the almonds.
