That is so cute and was fun to watch making too! Now I think I understand how that weird soda was made that had little globs inside! LOL

[@308Karl]

Looks like fruit flavor tapioca

[@hzlkelly]

I didn't know it was this easy

[@drshrutikakankariya1017]

thanks for the lemon one

[@Cpl_griffen]

Agar agar substitute?

[@trishannapersaud3053]

Can you share your exact measurements for all ingredients? This would help tons! Thanks

[@YouLab]

1 gram of Agar Agar for 100mL of fruit juice. Sugar is optional ;)

[@YouLab]

1/2 teaspoon of agar agar powder for 3/4 cup fruit juice. Sugar is optional.

[@emilyxu7935]

@@YouLab but how much water?

[@HaterKingwolf]

@@emilyxu7935 50 50 solution if you use tart or sour fruit

[@Lavenderrose73]

​@YouLab does that include lemon juice? I heard from another video that you would need more agar agar for citrus fruits than you would for other fruits. Or did the same amount of agar agar work for the lemon? I saw it another video where lemon caviar was put on salmon and I would absolutely love to do that! ...of course without the sugar, in that particular case.

[@DrkestShadow]

Quick question about the vegetable oil you use - if you make a lot of the same fruit pearls over and over, let's say orange, and use the same oil, does the oil become infused with an orange flavor? And, if so, what could you do with that? Oooo or lemon infused vegetable oil. Makes the mind wonder. Ideas please!

[@YouLab]

I used the same oil for the 4 fruits, I didn't noticed any flavor from the lasts fruits. Of course I didn't taste the oil, only pearls fruits.

[@chrisyu1739]

Use the oil in salad dressings

[@Lavenderrose73]

​@chrisyu1739 Oh, there you go! Nice to know the vegetable oil wouldn't have to go to waste, once you are finished using the oil over again as many times as you wanted to. 😊

[@ooosskcz4580]

A preparation that shows gstmy moculr to me is when you add baking soda in peanut brittle.

[@michaela3772]

Hi, thanks for posting this! Question: Juicing the lemons or oranges for the caviar is obvious, but how are you extracting the juice from the raspberry and kiwi since they more pulpy and fibrous? Do you just puree the fruit and add water? If so, how much water? Thank you.

[@KaiioO7]

You can puree the fruit with 2x water and strain

[@danielleong1865]

The description mentions this is a vegan-friendly recipe. Well, you have to skip the fromage blanc, which is a milk-based product.

[@aklein4676]

i thought they´re like those popping boba pearls but i made them yesterday and mine didn´t come out as aspected. They were hard inside so they didn´t pop at all..... is it supposed to be like that or did i just do sth wrong? is it possible that i need to use less agar agar or sth like that or aren´t they supposed to pop at all?

[@ashapogosova6172]

How long can you keep in the fridge?

[@AnakinSkywalker-mm3gi]

I made this with fresh lemon juice and the spheres appeared to form well enough while I was dropping the mixture into the oil but when I strained them all out through the sieve they all lost their shape and turned into flat mush. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@ciarabutler3340]

I recon the agar only set on the outside and they poped when you washed them.. try messing around with the time, squeeze them between your fingers to test for done”ness”

[@ciarabutler3340]

I mean, leave them in the oil for longer, and test them at intervals of about 2 mins

[@AnakinSkywalker-mm3gi]

@@ciarabutler3340 Thanks! :)

[@RemoteCamper]

@@ciarabutler3340 Make sure the oil is COLD.

[@shamaelsyed6460]

Are these chewy or do they pop?

[@JacobTheSunPreacher]

chewy. the agar agar makes them solid pearls

[@Talk2WandaVision]

Good question and it’s disappointing to hear that they don’t pop.

[@kwnstantinamavrochi2703]

Hi ! Can I use coconut milk?

[@valerie9650]

can you use sunflower oil instead?

[@YouLab]

Yes you can use any kind of oil

[@switch6252]

Very cool ! what is the storage life in the refridgeration ? Thanks

[@YouLab]

After 3 days in refrigerator it still looks good and tasty. I would not recommend more as it is made of fresh fruit.

[@DrZbo]

Can I really use xantham gum instead of agar agar?

[@noblesmacarons2103]

Great idea bravo 💚💚💚 but it get with fruit puree too ?

[@SuperFlou]

Amounts?

[@behzadel8098]

Excuse me, what is agar in Asia called?what is agar?

No measurements?😢

[@bitunusual]

Can we hire you for our next event? Looks so good!

[@YouLab]

I would love to, your channel is awesome !

[@michaelmg7850]

I guess this is a gel sphere? Because from the looks, it looks exactly the same as basic or reverse spherification

[@YouLab]

Indeed it is gel sphere ;)

[@jelicachua4139]

what is that white stuff

[@isaz597]

Could show how you juiced the raspberries & kiwi please?

[@YouLab]

Actually I've bought them at the supermarket :p

[@isaz597]

So you bought raspberry & kiwi juice from the supermarket? In the video you show whole fruit of raspberries & kiwis so i assumed you juiced them yourself?

[@randiandreassen5779]

Is the juice warm when you drip it into the oil? If yes, how warm? If no, how cold? ;)

[@YouLab]

Juice is warm at this step. Because when cold, the juice becomes solid. It should be around 40 to 60°C

[@randiandreassen5779]

​@@YouLab Yes of course :) Thank you.

[@iamchef7699]

I need to know the ratio

[@JoeyJamesOliver]

Cool!

[@yukonher]

How far ahead can you make these?

[@YouLab]

About 3 days

[@jairschroeder1570]

How much do you put in water?

[@federicobattisti7510]

how much juice did you use and in proportion how much agar did you put?

[@YouLab]

1 gram of Agar Agar for 100mL of fruit juice. Sugar is optional ;) 1/2 teaspoon of agar agar powder for 3/4 cup fruit juice. Sugar is optional.

[@lexclark7542]

Can I get the full recipe? What is the water to juice ratio?

[@YouLab]

It depends on the fruits and your tastes. For lemon I prefer with half water half fruit juice. For orange I prefer pure fruit juice. The stronger the fruit is, the more you put water.

[@nekoyokoshima4199]

question; why would you use agar agar and not gelatine powder?

[@YouLab]

Agar Agar doesn't have smell, taste and have a stronger gelling power than gelatine ;)

[@aerontobias6708]

can someone please give me a scientific explanation on this?

[@Karlaarj]

Do the pearls get the flavor of the vegetable oil? :)

[@YouLab]

No it doesn't get the flavor of vegetable oil ;)

[@ilovegreen324]

YouLab this may sound silly but is this the safer way to make tapioca pearls?

[@athymishra3509]

What is the white thing in the bowls

[@YouLab]

It is called "Fromage blanc". A French kind of yogourt.

[@foodiesunited3814]

😃

[@k.a.3877]

Do the pearls burst out like those fruity bubble tea pearls?

[@YouLab]

No it doesn't ;)

[@monalidinusha2520]

What’s the Agar agar? Can’t use the jellytin

[@YouLab]

You have to use agar agar that have a stronger jelly effect.

[@urvashimodi5462]

Do have to have agar agar or is it optional?

[@YouLab]

Agar Agar is mandatory

[@andreaserpico4811]

Yeah all cool but.. recipes???

[@priyapradhan9989]

Is the oil warm or room temperature

[@ilovegreen324]

It has to be cold I ordered the flavored agar agar to gel instantly. Hope this helps.

[@jefaslb]

0:46 is that bowl filled with oil also? Why changing bowls then?

[@YouLab]

Bowl is filled of water, it is used to separate oil from pearls. Oil will go on top of water whereas pearls will dive.

[@jefaslb]

Ahh thank you. Cold water or just at the room temperature?

[@YouLab]

I recommend cold water as hot water could dissolve pearls.

[@mickyas1000]

so no ratios, measurements etc???
