Crystal Boba Recipe using Agar Agar Powder

[@honestfoodtalks]

What's other boba toppings would you like us to try making at home?
Note: Link to the mould we use in the video description.

Could you do jellies? Like lychee, grass and coconut?
Also, why do you need to put oil on top of the water with the spherification method?

[@honestfoodtalks]

Ooh lychee jelly, grass jelly and coconut jelly 🤔 we will experiment and consider it for a future video 😃 thanks for suggesting!
The oil is needed to create a layer around the agar as it solidifies into a sphere 🤓 wonders of food science 🧪😋

Will this boba pop in mouth for example will it have a liquid inside it and a thin layer outside once popped

[@honestfoodtalks]

@@mubashiraabrar5849 No it will not. What you're looking for is 'popping boba'. We have another video on how to make that too 😊 Check out our channel

Sister how many days we can store homemade crystal boba at home?? Plz reply🫶

[@knutandersen431]

I'm making this with my sister rn and it's genuinely really fun! Thanks for the amazing recipe!!!

[@honestfoodtalks]

That's so nice! Glad you and your sister had fun making our recipe ☺️

[@greenparadise2]

Looks beautiful with comparison of all the boba!
I hope and wonder if you figured out a way thats not a mould and faster than spherificafion?

[@honestfoodtalks]

Thank you ☺️ for making it at home, the mould method is still the most efficient method from our experience.
Any other method would require devices that are not so affordable… if you have any other ideas do let us know! 😃

Hi! Is the sugar nessecary for the texture or could you use an alternative? (Monk fruit, stevia etc...)

[@honestfoodtalks]

The sugar is not necessary 😌 you can replace with other sweeteners

[@kimberlykong346]

Where can I find the agar agar powder ❤can you please tell me I want to try how to make it thank you for sharing

[@honestfoodtalks]

We usually order online from ecommerce stores like Amazon, but we always see Asian supermarkets stocking agar agar powder. Just make sure to buy unflavoured agar agar powder so that you can mix in your own flavours and colours 😊

Hi! How long can these be stored in the fridge before going bad?

[@honestfoodtalks]

Based on our experience, itll last about 1 week in the fridge in an airtight container

[@joinsharky_rbx]

Thanks so much for this recipe!

[@AhSiek_Uno]

Underrated video, this is great! 👍

[@honestfoodtalks]

Thank you for your kind words 😊

[@petvideo1205]

Does it melt after a while

[@NYJanus]

Is the oil necessary? Great video!!

[@honestfoodtalks]

The oil is necessary if you’re using the oil spherification method. If you want an oil free version, then we suggest using a mould 😊

[@valeriatte]

Hi, can I use regular water instead of coconut water? Will it still forming?

[@honestfoodtalks]

Yes you can use regular water, but it will taste plain instead 😊

[@kalpanas9523]

Coconut water is mandatory?

[@honestfoodtalks]

No, you can use other liquids too - even just plain drinking water 😊

[@kalpanas9523]
