English term or phrase: beads of air not quite rise to the boil
Buongiorno,
potreste aiutarmi a capire cosa sono i "beads of air".
Ho trovato che "bead" vuol dire goccia, ma parlando di "air" avevo immaginato più a "bollicine", quelle che si vedono sotto la superficie dell'acqua prima che bolle.

Si parla di una donna che sta bollendo delle bucce di pompelmo per poi farci della frutta candida.

She poked at her grapefruit peel with a wooden spoon, watching the beads of air form under the surface but not quite rise to the boil

Con un cucchiaio di legno spingeva la buccia del pompelmo nell'acqua, guardando le bollicine d’aria che si formavano sotto la superficie ma not quite rise to the boil ??

Grazie mille

... ma senza salire a galla
Explanation:
anche: ... le bollicine che si staccavano dal fondo della pentola ma senza arrivare in superficie

perché l'acqua sobbolle solo, quindi le bollicine non "rise to the boil", che è quando l'acqua bolle, invece, e le bollicine esplodono in superficie (quanti bol-bol- bol, aiuto)
