<\/a>What is Bubble Tea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bubble tea was first created in Taiwan in the 1970\u2019s but gained popularity around the world in the early 21st century. Classic bubble tea is a drink made with tea, sweetened milk and tapioca pearls called boba. The brewed tea is chilled and lightened with milk. Cooked tapioca pearls are added to the mix, sinking to the bottom of the glass and adding a unique flavor and texture to the drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubble tea is typically served with a large straw big enough to allow the tapioca pearls to pop up from the glass into your mouth. There are tons of ways to flavor bubble tea, giving the drink endless possibilities. The type of tea can be changed, the milk can be switched, flavorings can be added to the drink and even the tapioca can be sweetened and tweaked. Bubble tea is a great, refreshing drink that will keep you excited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How to Make Boba<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boba is another name for the tapioca pearls that are used to make bubble tea. The large, chewy pearls are made from tapioca starch or cassava starch. They are very hard when dry but become soft and chewy once cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boba pearls must be cooked before being added to bubble tea. Here is how to cook boba:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Add about \u00bd cup of uncooked boba pearls to a small saucepan.<\/li>
  2. Pour in 1 cups of water and \u00bc cup sugar.<\/li>
  3. Bring the mix to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer the boba for 15 minutes.<\/li>
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and let the boba sit for another 15 minutes.<\/li>
  5. Chill the cooked tapioca pearls and then use them in our chocolate milk tea!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Once cooked, boba will only keep for about three days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. After this, the pearls start to break down and fall apart. Store them in the cooking syrup to keep them hydrated and fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>How to Freeze Boba<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Boba does not keep very long in the fridge. This can be a challenge since making fresh boba can take a while. You may not have time to boil tapioca pearls every time you crave a chocolate bubble tea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Luckily, you can easily freeze your cooked boba. This will help store it for longer and give you a nice, cooked supply of bubble tea pearls, ready to use anytime you\u2019d like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
