Yield

PLACEHOLDER

  • Freeze Tea Spheres

    In a small pot bring water to a boil. Pour hot water over thai tea mix and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain out loose tea and discard. Weigh out 500 g of tea and then whisk in sweetened condensed milk and calcium lactate gluconate.
     
    Pour thai tea mixture into reverse spherification mold and leave in the freezer overnight or until frozen solid.

 

  • Create Warm Setting Bath

    In a container weigh out 500g distilled water and blend in 3.5g of perfected sodium alginate. Let settle until all bubbles have dissipated.
     
    In a small saucepan add water/sodium alginate mixture, place on low heat and warm to 130°F.

 

  • Create Speres

    Remove thai tea spheres from the freezer and place spheres in the warm alginate bath. Leave the spheres in the bath for 2-4 minutes. Remove spheres from the bath and place in distilled water.

 

  • Create Coconut Fluid Gel

    In a saucepan add in water and sugar, stir until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in coconut powder, super agar, and xanthan. Whisk until combined. Bring to a simmer.
     
    Place coconut gel into a heat proof container and allow it to fully cool.
     
    Once the gel is cooled, place it into a blender and blend on high speed until smooth.

 

  • Storage

    The fluid gel can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
