Molecular gastronomy is the sector of food science that uses the physical and chemical transformations of ingredients to improve flavors, create unique recipes, and explore the imaginative side of cooking.

Calcium lactate powder ($10) (you will need 10 grams or 2 tsp in total) Sodium alginate powder ($10) (you will need 2 grams or 1/2 tsp in total) - the 2 oz. packets work great for up to 5 students to use if they are sharing supplies - supply costs can vary depending on your global location and are listed here as Amazon pricing in the U.S. water (filtered tastes best, but tap is fine) immersion blender (or regular blender) digital food scale (if you have great, but if not it is no problem) 1 large bowl 1 medium bowl tablespoon/tsp measuring spoons syringe (the size you want your boba) Kool-Aid, Capri Sun or juice (must not contain a lot Calcium or it will not work) - no pineapple juice - most juices work but stay away from acidic or calcium-rich
This class requires parental supervision and support. The students will need assistance with the blender and adjusting the recipe as needed.
