5
resfriar

Cool the resulting mixture at room temperature, outside of the refrigerator, for a minimum of one hour, ensuring it cools completely.

60min

Dica: The mixture must be completely cold before proceeding with the spherification.

6
congelar

Place a tall, thin glass containing vegetable oil in the freezer for at least one hour, ensuring the oil is completely chilled.

60min

Dica: Do not try to rush this process; the oil needs to be very cold for the correct formation of the spheres.

7
sferificar

Remove the cold liquid mixture and the chilled oil. Using a dropper or syringe, drop the cold mixture, drop by drop, into the chilled oil inside the tall container.

10min

Dica: Using a tall, thin glass helps conserve oil and ensures the necessary travel distance for the spheres to form.

separar

Collect the formed spheres, discarding any that are deformed or stuck together (clumps).

1min

Dica: Separate the little balls, discarding any that look 'deformed' or 'sperm-like'.

enxaguar

Rinse the gelatin spheres in cold running water, rinsing at least three times to completely remove all oil residue.

2min

Dica: It is essential to rinse well to remove any trace of oil.
