CO2 Charge and Serve
Remove the gel from the container and dice the gel into ¼ – ½ inch cubes.
Place the cubes into a whipping siphon and charge with 1 CO2 charge. Release the pressure immediately and charge with a second CO2 charge. Doing this ensures there is no oxygen left in the chamber and the gel can carbonate easily.
Allow the whipping siphon to chill overnight in the refrigerator.To serve, release the pressure from the whipping siphon remove the diced gel. They will not look any different but when eaten they will be carbonated.
