Preparation
For the Almond Milk Yogurt
  1. Add the almond milk, agar agar, and sugar to a medium size sauce pot. Gently stir for about 2 to 5 minutes to disperse the agar agar.
  2. Heat to 185F for 5 minutes while stirring constantly to be sure the almond milk does not scorch.
  3. Turn off the heat and allow the temperature to cool to 105F.
  4. Blend in the tapioca starch and starter cultures until combined.
  5. Incubate at 105F for 6-12 hours or until a PH of 4.6 is achieved.
  6. Transfer to a container to cool until needed.
For the Saffron Popping Pearls
  1. In a small pot bring 98g of water and saffron to a simmer, then remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
  2. With a blender or homogenizer, blend the infused saffron water with sodium alginate until combined.
  3. Cool and reserve.
  4. Separately in a small bowl whisk together 500g water and 4.5g calcium chloride. Once the calcium is dissolved, you’re ready to make spheres.
  5. With a pipette or syringe dropper slowly drop the saffron and sodium alginate solution into the calcium chloride solution. Allow to set in the solution for about 30 seconds or until a fragile membrane has been formed.
  6. Remove the formed pearls from the solution and rinse with water.
  7. Store until needed.
