Prepare for Spherification
Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and let it cool slightly. Using a dropper or syringe, drop the mixture into a bowl of ice-cold vegetable oil. The drops will form into caviar-like spheres.

Set the Caviar
Allow the spheres to sit in the oil for a few minutes until they set. Then, gently remove them with a slotted spoon and rinse them under cold water to remove excess oil.
