Introduction

If you’re a fan of boba drinks, you’ve probably heard of popping boba. These small, flavorful balls burst in your mouth, adding a fun and unique texture to your drink. While you can buy popping boba at many bubble tea shops, making your own at home is surprisingly easy and affordable. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make popping boba from scratch.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fruit juice (such as strawberry, mango, or blueberry)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup tapioca starch
• Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the fruit juice, water, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
3. Add the tapioca starch to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
4. Return the saucepan to the heat and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
6. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir until well combined.
7. Using a dropper or small spoon, drop small balls of the mixture into a bowl of cold water. The balls should sink to the bottom and then rise to the surface as they cook.
8. Let the balls cook in the water for about 2 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl of cold water to cool.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until all of the mixture has been used.
10. Once the balls have cooled, drain them and transfer them to a container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
