Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 140 ml whole milk
  • 45 gr sugar
  • 15 ml kaloua
  • 15 ml vodka
  • 3 gr Calcium Lactate
  • 1 gr cocoa powder
  • 1 gr Xanthan Gum
  • Grated Chocolate (optional)

Sodium Alginate Bath

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients together in a blender and blitz for a minute to combine them. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve to remove as many air bubbles as possible.
  • There are two techniques that can now be used to make the spheres - a frozen and a non-frozen.

Sodium Alginate bath

  • Blend 1 liter water in a blender then gradually sprinkle in the Sodium Alginate. Blend until the Alginate is well dissolved.
  • Let this solution settle in the fridge for two hours (it will appear clearer when settled).

Frozen method

  • Freeze the white russian liquid in small (or big :)) hemisphere moulds.
  • Now heat the Sodium Alginate Bath (see Sodium Alginate Bath Recipe) to 50°C.
  • Add the frozen hemispheres into the Alginate Bath a couple at a time, stirring carefully for one minute. Then remove and refresh in cold water.

Non-frozen

  • Place small spoonful’s of the White Russian mixture into an Alginate Bath (see Sodium Alginate Bath Recipe). Let the spheres react for approx. 30 seconds then remove them with a slotted spoon and refresh in cold water.
