So, during the discussion about my t-Virus shot last week on Reddit, the person from Candy Booze indirectly gave me a genius idea: Dissolving Pez. I love Pez. As a kid, my brother had hundreds of Pez dispensers; and my other brother and I once made a stop-motion movie called "Night of the Living Pez," complete with dispensers being blown up with firecrackers and a Pez Dispenser domino-effect finale that took about 50 tries to get right. Sadly, that footage is lost forever. Anyway, this shot is for you, Pez.
What you'll need:
Xanthan gum
Calcium lactate
Water
Two 10 oz glasses
A pipette
Cherry Pez
Bubble Gum-flavored Vodka.
First, grind up 5 peices of Cherry Pez into a fine powder. The back of a spoon works pretty well. I don't recommend snorting Pez, even in the name of science.
Prepare your two glasses. In the first, add your Pez dust, 1 cup of water, and 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum. Mix thoroughly. If your glass is big enough and you have an immersion blender, definitely use it. In the second glass, add 2 cups of water and 1/4 tsp of calcium lactate. Stir until fully dissolved, and wait about 3 minutes.
Take your pipette, and suck out some the Pez juice. Then, about half an inch from the surface of the calcium lactate bath, add the Pez juice one drop at a time. A few may float at the top, but most drops will sphere and sink to the bottom.
Hooray! |
You can put the Pez caviar into a rinsing bath (glass of water) between the calcium lactate bath and putting them into the shot glass, but that's optional.
