Mulled Wine Tea Caviar
Easy homemade caviar with sweetened tea
Equipment
- Syringe (25 ml)
- saucepan
- Kitchen strainer
- Tall glass
- Teaspoon
- Precise kitchen scale
Ingredients
- 110 ml of water (tea leaves will soak some of the water so you will end up with around 100 ml of tea)
- 1-1.1 gram of agar agar
- 1-2 teaspoons of sugar (optional)
- 3 teaspoons of Mulled Wine fruit tea blend
- 300 ml of oil
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil.
- Steep tea in 110 ml of boiling water for about 5 minutes. Some tea leaves soak in more water. You will end up with 10-20 ml less after straining them.
- Strain the tea into a small saucepan and heat it until it almost starts boiling.
- Add agar powder and stir. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for a minute.
- Turn off the heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
- In the meantime, pour oil into a tall glass.
- Fill the syringe with the tea liquid.
- With gentle and fast pressure, start squeezing the liquid into the oil in circular movements. Pearls will settle at the bottom. If they are melting into each other, let the tea cool for a few more seconds.
- Once you are done, strain the pearl and give them a quick rinse under lukewarm water.
- Transfer them into a clean container.
