Ingredients and Process for Making Lychee Jelly

  • Lychee: These oranges are sweet and can add a nice crunch to this refreshing drink. There are many different species of lychee but stay away from brown or shrivelled fruit. To peel them like an orange, start at their stem and work your way down to their skin. Canned lychee works entirely if you are new to lychees or can’t find them at the store. Try other yellow fruits like mangoes if they’re not readily available near you.
  • Coconut Water: Coconut water would be the base of this recipe. Not only is it cheaper, but you’ll get a much more versatile flavour range with it. Stick to unflavoured if you want a more natural taste, but don’t forget to keep it refrigerated for that jelly consistency.
  • Agar-Agar: Agar-agar is an excellent vegan substitute for gelatin. It’s a seaweed available in 3 main types: powder, strands, or flakes. The powder is best used with recipes.
  • Sugar: Plain white sugar works well for this recipe. It dissolves quickly, leaving no residue behind and providing a significant sweetness.

1. Agar-agar powder can dissolve in hot liquids, so first mix it with coconut water.

2. Boil the mixture with the heat on low, flip it to low when your agar-agar has dissolved, and stir until everything is dissolved. Add sugar and stir till it’s all mixed in.

3. To ensure that the food doesn’t burn and stays moist, switch the liquid to a baking dish or large container. Add 1 cup of coconut water to help speed up chilling time.

4. Add lychee to the jelly mixture. Leave it chill in the refrigerator for no less than 2 hours.

5. Flip your pan upside down on a cooling rack instead.

6. Reduce the sides by cubes until it is 100% jellied.

Ways To Make Lychee Jelly For Bubble Tea

There are many ways to make Lychee Jelly for Bubble Tea since different places may use different bubble tea kits. We found a lot of suitable kits online over the years, so we recommend doing some shopping around to find the perfect option for your needs. One option we recommend is buying kits in your local store. You might also consider buying more miniature packs or individual items in bulk.

USING FRESH FRUIT

Research has shown that eating fresh fruits instead of processed and artificial ones can provide many health benefits. However, while they’re incredibly healthy, they require more effort to eat.

On the upside, you’ll be able to infuse plenty of variety into your drink using fruits for great flavour. The downside is that it can be challenging to extract lychee boba from its casing. However, it’ll be worth the effort!

One of our products for our infusions is a fruit with tiny seeds. It takes more time and effort to process, particularly if one wants to add a new ingredient. However, because the result is worth it, most people know that this infusion is worth the effort.

USING MILK TEA POWDER

Milk tea powder can make any drink taste amazing. You have to add the powder to a shaker and shake it up before adding it to your desired beverage. One disadvantage of replacing healthy food with artificial flavours is that these additives might increase your risk for chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

The first step is to procure milk tea powder. You would add a prescribed number of scoops to your shaking vessel and water to make the drink. After sealing, you would shake the vessel aggressively and pour it into a glass. Some additional ingredients, such as tapioca, might also be added.

Making your boba is a quick way to enjoy a favourite drink. They’re straightforward and delicious, so they’re worth trying at home! You can make it at home or find shops that will make it for you.

USING SYRUP

When you want to preserve the flavours of a fruit or herb, making simple syrup at home is easy. You can infuse your homemade syrup with these fruits to create delicious boba tea! Lychee is one we love.

Choosing the inexpensive and widely available syrup is worth it when you consider the number of uses. It is highly versatile and can be used on other foods or even to help make ice cream-based desserts.

Conclusion

Making your Lychee Jelly is surprisingly simple, and anyone can do it. They make pleasantly delicious bubble tea, and we recommend trying them out if you’re a fan of bubble tea!
