Alexis Nikole Nelson Instagram – ACORN POPPING BUBBLES 🐿🛁 – the cold is the time when I turn inwards and experiment with what I scampered around the woods gathering all year!!
I wanted to see if lil bubbles were possible with only foraged ingredients (this has been my ✨gentle hyperfixation✨ for about a week now), and this was the result!
Both starch and carrageenan (the often maligned polysaccharide in Irish Moss) make things 🌊wobble🌊 by releasing long, bendy molecules that hold liquids in place a lil better. When liquids aren’t as SLIPPY, they thicken! Starches absorb some of the hot liquid as well, so the one/two punch of these two seemed like it would work in my head! I’m glad it worked IRL, too! 🤣 | Posted on 30/Nov/2021 22:28:14
