Mint Chocolate Pearls Using Sperification Technique

First you need to make your Calcium Bath to use later in your recipe.
Blend together the Water, Sodium Alginate and Sodium Citrate.
Add the Cocoa Powder and Sugar into the blender and blend well.
Pass the mixture through a sieve to remove air bubbles.
Use a syringe or pipette to make caviar spheres by dropping the chocolate mixture into a Calcium Bath.
Allow the caviar to react for thirty seconds then remove with a slotted spoon and rinse in a bath of fresh water.
Serve as soon as possible after making.
We served them with Special Ingredients Mint Food Flavouring Oil and a mint leaf.
