Quick Answer
Pudding powder and jelly powder are pre-mixed powders: shops simply add water or milk in the pack ratio, heat to dissolve, pour into containers and chill to set to make pudding, coffee jelly, brown sugar jelly, grass jelly, aiyu jelly and other toppings. They save time and give consistent flavor batch after batch; just follow the pack for ratio, heating temperature, cooling time and storage and write it into your SOP, since homemade jelly toppings are food made on-site and hygiene matters.

Preparation Process (General)
- Weigh: measure powder and liquid (water, milk or tea) in the pack ratio.
- Dissolve: stir well to avoid lumps.
- Heat: to the stated temperature or boil, as directed.
- Pour: into clean, sanitized containers.
- Chill to set: refrigerate as directed.
- Cut and label: mark the date and time made.
Follow each product’s pack for actual ratios, temperatures and times.
Food Safety and Storage
- Clean containers and tools: jelly toppings are high in moisture, so clean equipment thoroughly.
- Refrigerate and time-label: use within the stated shelf life and discard after.
- Make in batches: match production to sales to avoid waste.
- Fixed recipes: chains need to know sugar and calories per cup, so topping recipes must be fixed too; see Taiwan’s Bubble Tea Labeling Rules.
Pairing with Other Toppings
Pudding and jellies can be combined with tapioca pearls, nata de coco and crystal boba as “double” or “triple” toppings for layered texture. See Bubble Tea Toppings Compared and What Is Nata de Coco?
