Molecular cuisine with fake caviar

Mix the alginate with 1/3 of the melon juice. Add the remaining 2/3 of the juice, blend, strain, and let it rest. Dissolve the calcic acid in water. Fill a syringe with the melon-algin mixture. Inject this mixture drop by drop into the calcic acid solution. After 1 minute, strain the caviar and rinse it in water. Cucumber juice is also suitable for making caviar instead of melon juice. In the photo, I’ve arranged the cucumber caviar in a caviar tin.
