Surprise bubbles!


Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • Food coloring

Additives

  • Calcium salts 1 sachet (5g)
  • Sodium alginate 1 sachet (2g)

Steps

1. Dissolve the calcium lactate in 1/4 cup of water and add it to the lemon juice.
 2. Fill up small round molds with this preparation and freeze.
 3. Dissolve the sodium alginate in 2 cups of water with a hand blender or an eggbeater. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
 4. Put the ice pieces in this sodium alginate bath and set aside for 3 minutes. 
5. Pick up the raviolis thus formed with a pierced spoon and rinse them in a water bowl. 
6. Put each ravioli in colored water for 5 minutes and present as desired. (looks great on white!)


Notes:

Sadly this took close to 3 tries to get to work. Every time i'd take the bubbles out of the bath it would fall apart. Seemed the issue was I the spoon had a design towards the back that would catch on the bubble and pop it! I also found that keeping the bubbles in the colored water for closer to 10 minutes would give a better color.
