Method
- Prepare the alginate bath by blending the sodium alginate into 500 ml of distilled water. Let the bath rest in a bowl for at least 15β30 minutes to remove any air bubbles.
- In the meantime, prepare the peach mixture. Blend calcium lactate into the peach puree until fully dissolved.
- To create the polka dots, gently drop small amounts of the peach mixture into the alginate bath using a small spoon, syringe, or dropper. As soon as two liquids meet, the drop is gelling from the outside in. The size of the drop will stay the same.
- Let the spheres sit in the bath for about 1β2 minutes to form a soft gel skin. Remove the spheres carefully with a slotted spoon. Rinse in a second bath of just distilled water to stop the gelling process.
- Assemble the Bellini by placing several peach "polka dots" into a glass. Depending on how sweet you'd like it, add raspberry spumante and finish with a serving of prosecco. Serve immediately to enjoy the fun effect of the carbonation making the peach dots to dance in the glass.
