Description

Ingredients

• 100g liquid
• 1.5g Agar
• oil (vegetable, olive)
• kitchen scales
• pipettes
• slotted spoon
• candy thermometer
• Two tall glasses

Directions

• Fill a tall glass with oil.
• Place in the freezer for an hour to chill.
• Mix together your liquid/flavour and weigh for the correct amount.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, pour in the liquid and sprinkle on the agar powder.
• Stir and let come to a boil.
• Remove from heat, and place in candy thermometer.
• Wait for the temperature to drop to between 50-55C or 122-131F.
• Pull out the oil from the freezer, use a pipette and drop the liquid into the oil (I found I dropped 2-3 liquid drops together). As they drop through the oil, theyll form into spheres.
• Grab another tall glass, hold a slotted soon over to catch the rainbow drops, and drain the oil through.
• Set aside the rainbow drops, rinse in cold water.
• The oil will float on top making it easy to pour out.
• Drain and repeat with other colours and flavours.
• To store, pop into a container and keep them in the fridge.
