Hi, whats the best way to dispose it after using for spherification? Is it safe to throw it to the sink or toilet? Won't it block the waste pipes?

It's a natural product to I put it on the compost heap. If you pour it down the drain remember it turns to gel in the presence of calcium so could block the pipes if there's enough lime scale down there!
