Notes
Choose the right watermelon: When making watermelon boba popsicles, make sure you choose a ripe and sweet watermelon. This will ensure that your popsicles are not only delicious but also have the right amount of natural sweetness, allowing you to reduce the need for added sweeteners like honey and brown sugar.
Prepare your tapioca pearls properly: Before adding your tapioca pearls to the popsicle mixture, it's important to cook them properly. In a small pan, boil 2 cups of water and add the tapioca pearls. Let them boil for about 5 minutes or until they float. Then, turn off the heat and pour them into another bowl of cold water. This will help you achieve the perfect gummy texture for your bubble tea popsicles.
Freeze upright: Use a tray to keep popsicle molds level while they set.
Leave room at the top: The liquid may expand slightly, so don’t overfill.
