Instructions
Crystal boba
Combine agar powder, sugar, and water in a measuring jug.Whisk ingredients together until the sugar dissolves and then pour the jug contents into a saucepan.
Continue to whisk the mixture as it comes to a boil onto the stovetop for around 3-4 minutes to ensure all the agar powder is well dissloved.
Pour the boiling mixture into a boba mold. Use a spatula to make sure every mold is filled, then set it aside for 15 minutes to cool down.
15 minutes later, the boba should be set. Place your hands under the mold to pop the pearls out and into a bowl of ice-cold water. Use a strainer to remove the ice from the water and then use it again to remove the pearls.
Brown sugar agar boba
Place instant brown sugar, agar powder, and water in a measuring jug and whisk the ingredients together.
Once the powder dissolves, pour the jug contents into a saucepan. Bring this to a boil on the stovetop, stirring constantly.
Pour the hot mixture into your boba mold immediately, using a spatula to ensure every mold is filled.
Set this aside for 15 minutes and then use your hands to pop the pearls out of the mold into a bowl of ice-cold water. Use a strainer to remove the ice from the bowl and then the cooled pearls.
Watermelon agar boba
Place watermelon juice and agar powder in a measuring jug and whisk the ingredients together. Once combined, transfer the mixture into a saucepan. Bring this to a boil while constantly stirring.
Pour the boiling contents into your boba mold and use a spatula to push the mixture into each mold. Then let this sit for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, place your hands under the mold and push each pearl out and into a bowl of ice-cold water. Use a strainer to remove the ice from the bowl and then use the same strainer to remove the watermelon agar boba from the bowl.
