5 Hour EDIBLE WATER Bubble (carbonated)

Is the creation of edible spheres all that reverse spherification is about?🤔

Let me show you how you can take this molecular gastronomy culinary technique on a different LEVEL!

In this post I’ll share with you not only the process of how to make an edible water bubble, but also how to carbonate it, and create a carbonated sphere filled with magic tea!🤩

A little gassy, bloated, yet beautiful edible water sphere.
