| Juice limes Fine-strain the juice to remove as much pulp as possible. Measure lime juice (in grams, use a scale) Measure enough water to be 1/2 the amount of lime juice For the Agar Agar mixture: Now you’ll need to measure out enough Agar Agar to make 2% of the total liquid (so lime in grams+water in grams*.02). Example for 200 grams of lime juice and 100 grams of water you would use 6 grams of agar agar (300*.02) Put the cold water into a sauce pan and add the agar agar to the cold liquid. Turn on the heat to medium and whisk as the mixture heats. Combining the ingredients Slowly stream the lime juice into the agar agar whisking the entire time, keeping the temperature above 95 degrees (35 celsius) Prepare an ice bath by putting ice and water in a large bowl, then placing a smaller bowl in it. Pour the heated mixture into the smaller bowl and whisk until it gets to the consistency of cottage cheese. Allow the mixture to set for around 15 minutes. To Separate Wet a piece of overlapping cheesecloth or linen, the more layers the less likely the agar will pass through. Pour the set mixture into the cloth Pick it up inside the cloth and apply gentle pressure to slowly work the clarified juice out. Don’t squeeze too hard or your clarified juice will end up with some Agar in it. (More like light pressure/massage the liquid out). You can also try placing the cheese in a sieve and set a light weight on it and let it drip out for a period. | |
