🧬 Ingredients & Production Process

Crystal Boba is made with:

• 🌱 Plant-Based Gelling Agents (like konjac gum or agar): For that signature crisp & elastic texture.

• 💧 Water: The base that dissolves everything smoothly.

• 🍭 Sugar & Flavorings: Optional but great for extra sweetness or color!

• 🍋 Citric Acid or Acidity Regulators: Keeps the gel stable and acid-friendly.

👉 It’s made by heating and dissolving the ingredients, then forming spheres using molds or droplet techniques. Once cooled, they turn into chewy, crystal-clear bobas! Thanks to konjac gum, they’re heat-resistant, acid-stable, and perfect for both hot and cold recipes🔥❄️
