How do you make a sphere food?

To make spheres with direct spherification you combine the gelling agent with the flavored base. You then prepare the setting bath by combining water with a calcium salt such as calcium chloride or calcium lactate. To make the spheres you fill a spoon with the base and hold it just above the setting bath.
