If you love fruit-flavored bubble teas, you will probably love rainbow jelly. It is made up of the inside layer of a coconut and fruit flavor. So if you love the simple taste of fresh fruit or fruit juice, you should definitely give it a try.

The taste of rainbow jelly in bubble tea depends on the flavor of the boba milk used in the drink. The most common flavors are coconut, passion fruit, and mango.

Rainbow jelly is easily confused with nata de coco because both are made from coconut. Rainbow jelly comes from the coconut meat of the fruit while nata de coco is made by the fermentation of coconut water.

What is Bubble Tea

Bubble tea, also known as boba tea or pearl milk tea, is a Taiwanese and Chinese tea drink consisting of bubble-like tapioca pearls, milky tea, and flavoring. The original form of bubble tea is a Taiwanese invention and is usually drunk without sugar. Sugar syrup and condensed milk are added to the drink afterward.

The usual color of jelly used in bubble teas is black tapioca pearls.

Today, the drink is popular all over the world and is available in many variations. This exotic-tasting beverage is a great way to refresh yourself during a busy day. The flavored tea, smooth pearls, and chewy tapioca balls in combination with the sweet and milky flavors make it an unforgettable experience.

How Do You Use Rainbow Jelly in Bubble Tea?

Rainbow jellies are often used in layered drinks and you commonly see them at the bottom of the cups. Or, add them on top of the drink if you like. One example of a yummy rainbow jelly in bubble tea is the mango passion bubble tea with a tapioca pearl rainbow jelly. This type of setup adds a gorgeous multi-color contrast to the drink and gives it a more complex flavor profile.

You can also use rainbow jelly in an alternative way. If you’re not a fan of the boba straw and would rather sip your bubble tea out of a regular old-fashioned cup, a rainbow jelly in your drink will give it a colorful contrast that will look great with either setup.

Other kinds of bubble tea with rainbow jelly include adding ice cream, or instead of using black or red tea, you can have green tea with rainbow jelly.
