“Chadzilla” documents the process used by the chefs at Adria to create “vodka pills,” alcoholic confections made from a booze reduction and cornstarch.
There are only 2 components to this process… the cornstarch (which serves as a casting mold and as a reactant to the liquid) and the alcohol flavored syrup (which will form a ’shell’ upon contact with the cornstarch surrounding it). How you make and treat the 2 components is what causes the magic.
