Spherification is a new technique taken from modern cuisine that chef Ferran Adrià used and that consists in creating a jelly layer around liquids to try and simulate fish eggs. This jelly encapsulation creates amazing taste in food and allows you to taste the flavour in your mouth all of a sudden and more intensely. In this experiment we've made a ball out of a soft drink such as coca cola and explains how to create it step by step.
