Secret Recipe: Edible Dew Drops!
It’s the early morning of a beautiful spring day, and I have stepped out into a glistening landscape. Dew drops adorn delicate flower petals, sparkle like diamonds nestled into mullein leaves, and light up spider webs like fine embroidery. I pause to watch a bee gently taking little nibble-sips from a dewdrop nearly as big as it! Observing this phenomenon as a kid (and watching animated movies where other insects carried around their own refreshing little dewdrop water sources) convinced me that this must also be how fairies transport and delicately sip those refreshing early morning dew drops too. I’ve always wanted to experience that feeling - sipping from a dewdrop, something that’s not really possible for a creature of my scale.
But all of that can change. What if you could create a delectable dewdrop that was the size of a tomato? One that you could gently carry around, then sip up when you are thirsty? At this scale, we can’t rely on the surface tension of water to keep it in a round dewdrop shape; instead we will be using science to create a thin edible membrane to keep the water contained within. Add the wild flavors of a spring morning and you have a show-stopping surprise that will delight anyone who tries it. (The experience is truly like nothing else!) If you want to get a peek of these crazy things in action, they are the subject of my first TikTok video! My username is TheWondersmith, so find me there!
