If you’ve ever had bubble tea or any other popular Taiwanese drink, you’ve probably come across a fun and delicious ingredient called bubble gum. These small, round tapioca pearls are filled with a fruity liquid that bursts in your mouth when you bite into them, adding an interesting flavor and texture to your drinks. If you’re a big fan of popcorn or want to add more variety to your homemade drinks, you might be wondering how to make these cute little pearls yourself. In this popcorn making tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps to make your own popcorn at home.
raw material:
- Cassava starch
- Juice or syrup of your choice
- water
- sugar
instruct:
1. Start by making the filling for your popcorn. You can use any fruit juice or syrup you like. For example, if you want strawberry popcorn, mix strawberry juice or syrup with sugar for flavor. For every half cup of tapioca starch, you should make enough filling to fill about a half cup.
2. In a separate bowl, measure out your tapioca starch. Gradually add water to the starch, stirring constantly until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a flat surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Take a small piece of dough and roll it into a thin rope. Cut the rope into small pieces, about the size of a pea.
5. Flatten each piece of dough with the palm of your hand and place a small drop of filling in the center.
6. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling and roll into a smooth ball.
7. Boil a pot of water and put the pearl balls in the water. Stir gently to keep them from sticking together.
8. Boba meatballs will float to the surface of the water after cooking. Let them cook for another 2-3 minutes after floating.
9. Remove the boba balls from the water with a slotted spoon and pour into a bowl of cold water.
10. Rinse the boba balls under running water to remove excess starch.
11. In a separate bowl, make a sweet syrup for your boba by whisking together more fruit juice or syrup and sugar.
12. Add homemade popcorn to your favorite drink along with some ice cubes and fruit syrup. Stir and enjoy!
With a little practice, you can easily make popcorn at home to add fun and flavor to your homemade drinks. Experiment with different juices and syrups to create your own unique boba taste. Whether you’re making bubble tea, cocktails, or other beverages, your homemade popcorn bubble tea will make your drinks extra delicious and fun.
