Directions

First prepare the Sodium Alginate bath. Mix 2.5g Sodium Alginate into 500ml low calcium bottled water using a hand blender. You do not need to heat the mix. (Note: you can increase the concentration to 3g or 3.5g when first practicing this technique to make the spheres stronger and easier to make, but they will be less pleasant in the mouth).
Prepare the yoghurt base by adding the cucumber juice (prepared by blending and straining cucumbers) to the yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly
Spoon the mix into the Sodium Alginate bath using a 5ml or 7.5ml measuring spoon. Leave for a few minutes and remove with the molecular collecting spoon. Serve straight away.
