Honey Caviar

Made this one to go along with some breakfast biscuits tasted and look amazing.

Honey Caviar Ingredients

- 110 g (3.9 oz) acacia honey (tastes better but you can use any type)

- 90 g (3.2 oz) water 

- 1.6 g sodium alginate 

Calcium Bath

- 500 g (18 oz) water

- 2.5 g calcium chloride

1- Prepare the honey mix for the caviar. Mix the sodium alginate in the water using an hand mixer until the sodium alginate is completely dissolved. I would say mix for about 10 minutes  Might seem like along time but is how long it takes mine to mix just right.

2- Once the sodium alginate is dissolved, mix with the honey using the hand blender. Let the mix rest in the fridge for 12 hours to eliminate the air bubbles created by the hand blender.

3- Once the mix has no air bubbles remove it from the fridge until it reaches room temperature to reduce the viscosity (thickness) of the mix.

4- Prepare the calcium bath in a bowl by dissolving the calcium chloride in the water.

5- You are now ready to start creating the caviar! Fill a syringe with the honey-alginate mixture and expel it drop by drop into the calcium bath. The syringe needs to be high enough (about 6 inches from the bath surface) for the drops to sink and to prevent the formation of a tail. Don’t go too high or the drops may break into smaller drops. A trick i learned is tap the syringe onto the side of the bowl if it's high enough. This just makes it a bit easier.

6- Leave the caviar "cooking" for about 1 minute in the calcium bath and then carefully remove it using a spoon Then rinse it very gently with water to remove the calcium. A tip for this is putting it into a water bath and stir gently with a spoon. Remove it the same way as in step 5.

Notes:

The only issue with this recipe is you have to eat it right away or the Caviar will start to fall apart.
