Get a tall glass and fill with olive oil or any other oil. Place in freezer for 30 minutes-not more, but you want the oil cold

Measure the agar agar flakes 1.5 teaspoons or 1 gram if weighing. Measure the balsamic vinegar

Add balsamic and agar to a small sauce pot and bring to a boil-turn off heat and let cool slightly. I found using a syringe worked best for more even pearls. You can also use a squeeze bottle, but you need to cool it down even more to not melt plastic squeeze bottle.

Try and drip one by one into the oil. The taller the glass the easier it is to make little beads. If you are using a squeeze bottle, drip solution across the glass in back and forth motions. Basically don't just squirt in one place-move around

Once you've used all the mixture-strain the pearls and run under cold water

Store in an air tight container in the fridge-they should keep up to 2 weeks

Use on salads, appetizers, in your favorite dishes for a wow factor and a zesty bite
