Why are there bubbles in ice powder?

First of all, ice jelly is made from something called ice jelly seeds, which are seeds of a plant called Physalis, which are slightly smaller than sesame seeds. When making ice jelly, wrap the ice jelly seeds with gauze and rub them in clean water to rub the juice into the water. Because Physalis is acidic, some lime or toothpaste is put in it and wait for it to solidify. When eating, put some ice jelly in a bowl, pour brown sugar water, sesame seeds, peanut kernels, etc. on it and you can eat it. The crystal clear ice jelly tastes as smooth and sweet as jelly. If the ice jelly has bubbles, it is usually because too many ice seeds are put in, and more bubbles are produced when rubbing, so you can see the bubbles in the ice jelly when the finished product is made.
