Directions

Add the Vanilla Essence to the bottled water.
Add the Sodium Alginate to the Vanilla mixture and blend with a hand blender. Leave to rest in the fridge (ideally 24 hours) until all the bubbles have disappeared.
Prepare the Calcium Bath by adding the Calcium Lactate to the tap water.
Prepare the Vanilla Pearls by using a pipette to slowly drop small droplets of the vanilla liquid into the calcium bath. The pearls should form instantly.
Remove immediately using the molecular collecting spoon, rinse in water and serve.
