Boba or often called bubble is a chewy ball made from tapioca flour. Boba first became popular in Taiwan in the 1980s and has since spread throughout the world, becoming one of the culinary trends that many people love . Known for its chewy texture and soft sweet taste, boba is usually served as a filling in various types of drinks.

The main function of boba in drinks is to provide an interesting texture sensation. When chewed, boba provides a chewy taste and creates a unique contrast with the smooth liquid of the drink. This sensation makes the drinking experience more enjoyable and not monotonous. Boba can also be given additional flavors such as brown sugar or honey, further enriching the overall taste of the drink.

In addition to tapioca flour, there are now many types of boba that are quite popular. One of them is watermelon boba. Recently, a video uploaded by the TikTok account @sherlyrosilin went viral. The video shows a tutorial on making popping boba made from watermelon.

Yup, this watermelon boba is just as chewy as boba made from tapioca flour. However, this boba is made from watermelon, not tapioca flour. The woman in the TikTok video @sherlyrosilin admitted that the watermelon boba she made could be chewy and burst in the mouth.

Next, add sodium alginate powder and blend again until well blended. This sodium alginate powder functions to make watermelon juice more elastic and can form like a gel when molded. In addition, sodium alginate helps create a solid structure in boba without affecting the taste or transparency. "I don't use measurements, just guess," said TikTok @sherlyrosilin.
