The more we drank boba pearls beverage – be it brown sugar boba pearls fresh milk or boba pearls with cheese tea drink, the more we get addicted to it. This got me thinking about how could we reinvent an ongoing trend? I come to think that is it possible that we infuse fruits into boba pearls? Well, let’s give it a go and try fresh fruits boba pearls!
Are they the next Unicorn Boba Pearls Recipe beverage?
Since the process of making a regular brown sugar boba pearls is simply using brown sugar as the liquid to activate the tapioca starch. So from there, we know that the formulation to boba pearls is simply
flavored liquid combine with tapioca starch and then braise them in its own flavored sweetened liquid.
By having that in mind, I begin working on how should I create the flavored liquid? And to raise the benchmark to another level, I thought let’s make chewy boba pearls with fruit bits in them!
Imagine Boba Pearls with Fruit Bits in them!
Hence I come to think that I will need to make a fruit puree, also I will need to play around a little bit with the colors, so the drinks would look vibrant while refreshing! So I went on to around local traders market hunting for fruits that are suitable for its purpose.
Some of the fruits are delicious, but would not be able to make the boba pearls look vibrant. From my fruits shopping, I had come to pick red dragon fruits, orange flesh taro roots, green kiwi, and yellow kiwi.
p/s : I think we can even use vegetables, think cucumber!
Is Boba Pearls Innovation at its Peak?
Currently, around the globe is crazed with boba pearls drinks and it has become a global trend. People getting addicted to it, well in a happy way. The popularity of boba pearls has spread across Europe, Germany in particular and are now converting the young people across North America as well.
Manufacturing Colorful Fruity Boba Pearls?
Currently, I do not think there is any manufacturer that is willing to produce them with real fresh fruits as it will be;
- Not cost-effective – Using fresh fruits is going to be expensive.
- Labor intensive – the process of extracting the flesh of the fruits.
If it is going to happen, I believe plenty of coloring and addictive will be added.
But why wait? Now you start following my recipe, and simply make your own colorful fruity boba pearls at home!

Colorful and Fruity Boba Pearls Recipe could be the next Unicorn Boba Pearl Beverage! Previously I did a video on how to make tapioca boba pearls recipe at home and some have been telling me that their dough end up becoming too stick and could not work on the dough to roll them. So just recently I’ve got some extra time and thought that I should improve the recipe to make it failsafe, so anyone can make it at home with ease. Perhaps adding some cheese foam to it would be great too! (Cheese Tea Recipe here)

It is tapioca flour

Yes you can, freeze them and use any amount that you need.
To boil the frozen boba pearls,
Make sure the water is at full boil before dropping them in and stir to prevent them from sticking.
Otherwise they will break apart easily.
