Sweet, yummy Bubble Tea!
For the past few days I've been obsessed with Bubble Tea - I first saw it mentioned in a webcomic and did some research to find out about it. It sounded delicious! I decided to visit the Chinese supermarket, get some tapioca pearls and make some myself.
The recipe for sugar syrup was found at the link below, and the rest was improvised.

Step 2
Get your water to a rolling boil, add the tapioca and boil for 30 minutes with the cover on. Then turn off the heat and let it sit for another 15 minutes.
When cooked, the tapioca pearls go clear, soft and chewy.

Step 3
Whilst all of that is going on, you need to be preparing your sugar syrup and tea.
Make a mug of tea with 1/4 strong earl grey and 3/4 milk. Then put it in the fridge to cool.

Step 4
For the sugar syrup, use 1 part white sugar, 1 part brown sugar and 2 parts water. Cook this on a high heat until it starts to boil, then immediately put it in a glass/container and let it cool in the fridge as well.
Remember to be careful with it, as it will burn if it touches your skin!

Step 6
Optional: If you want to add a little more flavour to your tea, stir in a teaspoon of vanilla essence.
And where can you
Get them cheap??
No, seriously. I'm addicted to pearl milk tea, but I'm also broke and can't afford to buy it constantly.
So this tutorial pretty much made my life.
Thank you so much!
I love bubble tea! Now I can make my own instead of getting some at the asian market
thankyouu!
The first time I made it, I messed up the tapioca pearls as well! I was really annoyed because they took ages to cook.
