![](https://829019481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQKxP3dLVX23EmnpaB5PS%2Fuploads%2FXhmG2ODXYh0wGo7FbvBC%2FIMG_2106.jpeg?alt=media\&token=f8de4f65-d96c-4207-8ffa-c69e26858723)

Ingredients:&#x20;

* Water (40 mL)
* Agar agar powder (1 g)
* Glycerol (2 g)
* Dish soap (3g)

Procedure:

* Mix all the ingredients into a pan or pot
* Heat up all the ingredients to 85-90 C on the stove
* Mix thoroughly
* Lower heat if bubbles are forming on the bottom of the pan
* Add dish soap
* Whisk until you see it foam
* Take off heat after about 4 minutes of stirring or until the agar is fully dissolved (the solution is at least 85 C and thicker than when started)
* Let dry for a few days on a smooth surface. Expect extreme shrinkage.
* Done!

Properties:

* Before drying: not very foamy at all
* After drying: lorem ipsum

Notes:

* This did not foam. I will try a different dish soap next time, or more of it.
