Make bubble tea yourself - the recipe

Bubble Tea originally comes from the island of Taiwan, but has now become a popular drink and snack in between in Asia and also with us. It comes in many different flavors and colors. Here we explain how you can make a classic bubble tea.

• For the classic bubble tea you need black tea, milk, tapioca pearls, syrup, ice and extra wide drinking straws.
• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add the tapioca pearls. Boil the pearls according to the information on the packaging. Usually the tapioca pearls should cook for around 30 minutes. Then pour the pearls through a sieve and clean them with water.
• Put the tapioca pearls in a bowl and mix them with a syrup of your choice, for example maple syrup.
• Now put on black tea. Make sure that you use double the amount of tea bags, as the tea will be extended later.
• Take a jar and fill it with ice. Now add the hot tea and stir until the ice has dissolved.
• Then you can mix the syrup tapioca pearls, the tea and the milk together in a glass, put an extra wide straw in it and your bubble tea is ready.
