How to make popping boba

Watermelon popping boba

2. Pour this back into the blender with the sodium alginate and blend until smooth.
3. Place this back into the bowl and remove any froth on the surface with a spoon. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside for at least 4 hours or overnight
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the calcium lactate and cold water.
