BALSAMIC PEARLS RECIPE ⬇️
Save this for your next dinner party— your guests won’t believe you made them yourself!!
• Whisk about 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with 1 teaspoon of agar powder— eyeballing it is fine
• Bring the mixture to a simmer to activate the agar
• Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes, then remove from the heat
Here’s where most people mess up: it’s all about the temp.
Too hot and it’ll explode out of your squeeze bottle. Too cold and it sets into jelly!
• Let it cool for 2–4 minutes until it’s warm and pourable, but not starting to set
• Funnel into a squeeze bottle
• Fill a glass with ice-cold vegetable oil— 30 minutes in the freezer is perfect
• Drop it in slowly, one drop at a time, in a circular motion (from a little height!)
• Strain over a bowl to save the oil, then rinse the pearls under running water
• Serve with caprese, cheese, or whatever your heart desires ✨

Omg I just came across this video. I just made pomegranate balsamic pearls for our valentines caprese. 😍🙌
You are a genius!!!!! Your account is just unbelievable
Recipe says teaspoon, you say tablespoon - which amount is correct
Holy moly!! 🤯
⚫️⚫️⚫️😍♥️
t'as essayé ?
Looks like a delicious chemistry experiment 🙌
Can you do this with other liquids like fruit liquids ? Is there anything toxic that should not be added with Agar?
Are there substitutes to the ingredients
Do you wash them after? I tried it yesterday it came out good but it’s sliding on my plate 😢
Can be saved for later?
Have you tried finger lime
