It is best to remove the pearls very quickly, I found that the larger the drops, the better the consistency! The consistency of these does not last very long, so be sure to consume immediately! There are other methods of making this that should last longer like reverse sphereification. I will post an updated video once I have a better, more consistent recipe. Stay tuned!
This is great idea! I have been making these with alcohol, for shots and cocktails with different flavors. I tried making boba with starch but these with alginat looks so much better
I'm working on a different recipe that will yield more consistent results! If you look up like cocktail caviar, you can find some really cool videos and recipes about alcoholic popping pearls! ❤
You don't need distilled water for spherification. We use distilled water to make sure there are no traces of calcium. But here we are adding calcium lactate to the water. If we do reverse spherification, we will need distilled water. If you have a RO at home, water treated by RO works just as fine for reverse spherification
I tried making this last night, but the problem is that after I dropped the coffee in the calcium water, it wouldn’t go all the way down and just sit on top of the calcium water making it flat 😭 do you have a solution for this?
