Make the alginate bath: Blend sodium alginate with distilled water until completely dispersed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3hours or overnight until clear and bubble-free. 2. Make the filling: in a large bowl, add water sugar, calcium lactate gluconate and citric acid and mix until dissolved. Mix in the remaining water, then add green apple extract to taste and food coloring. 3. Freeze: Divide between eight sphere molds and freeze overnight until completely solid. 4. Prepare the holding liquid: Stir the filtered water and sugar together until dissolved. Add enough green apple extract to lightly flavor the water. Refrigerate until cold. 5. Spherify: Working one at a time, gently lower a frozen sphere into the alginate bath. Leave for 7-8 minutes, gently rotating it throughout so every side comes in contact with the bath. The inside will still be frozen 6. Rinse: Carefully transfer the sphere to the cold filtered-water bath and gently rinse for 30–60 seconds. 7. Hold & thaw: Transfer the rinsed sphere to the cold flavored holding liquid. Repeat with the remaining spheres, keeping them in a single layer. Refrigerate until the centers are completely thawed. #foodfromfilms #honeydew #antbully #Recipe #ediblewaterbottle - @maryc.129
