Agar may be dispersed in either hot or cold medium. Hydration (dissolution) occurs at temperatures above 90°C; heating the solution to a boil is necessary for gelling. Setting occurs at 35-45°C, and onset is rapid (within minutes). Melting of agar gels occurs at 80-90°C.

Created using a mixture of science and cooking (molecular gastronomy) we use pectin (from fruit) to create the bubbles that hold the liquid and give the famous 'pop' that our Flavour Pearls are known for.

Use a syringe, squeeze bottle or dropper to drop the coffee caviar mixture slowly into a tall container of cold oil. The pearls will form and fall to the bottom.
