How to Make Boba: DIY Bubble Tea Recipe and Tapioca Pearls Guide
This article describes how to make bubble tea(boba tea) from scratch, including homemade tapioca pearls and milk tea. If you prefer a simpler process, you can purchase pre-made tapioca pearls and skip steps 1 and 2 of the tapioca pearl preparation:
Ingredients Needed:
- Water (approximately 100ML + 200ML)
- Potato starch
- Flour (a small amount, to prevent sticking)
- Brown sugar
- Black tea bag (1 bag)
- Milk (1 carton)
Instructions:
Making Tapioca Pearls Prepare the materials. Add 100ML of water and a block of brown sugar into a pot. Heat until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is boiling. Immediately pour the boiling brown sugar water into the potato starch, stirring quickly to form a dough. Remove the dough and knead it on a clean surface until smooth. Roll the dough into small balls, making them moderately sized since they will expand when cooked. Sprinkle some flour on the pearls to prevent sticking. Any extra pearls can be frozen for future use; simply cook them directly from the freezer when needed.
