For your first try I recommend a fruit with strong taste like lemon.

In a cooking pot, mix the following ingredients:

One portion of fresh fruit juice, the same quantity of water, half the amount of sugar and some Agar Agar.

The more you put Agar Agar, the firmer the result will be. For one orange I recommend 1/4 tsp (1 gramme) of Agar Agar.

Step 3: Boil the Mixture

Fruits pearls are ready but mixed with oil.

To separate the oil from pearls we will wash them with some water.

It is easy to clean as long as oil is less dense than water and pearls are more dense.

Step 6: Orange Pearls Presentation
