How To Make Bubble Tea • Tasty

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Hey guys , I'm Jasmine and I love boba .

You might have seen me over on bring me trying to finish a gallon of boba milk tea or trying unique boba treats in Taiwan because for me , boba is just one of those things that can turn a bad day into a better one .

So I thought I would share five delicious and gorgeous boba recipes with you all so we can enjoy them together .

Right guys , we're gonna start by making the boba first .

We are making it from scratch .

Of course , if you don't want to make it from scratch , you can buy pre-made boba from any local Asian grocery store .

But actually making boba from scratch is quite easy and is only three ingredients .

Three , not 63 .

So let's start by adding in our water in our muscato sugar and we're gonna turn that on to a medium high heat .

We're gonna stir this until it dissolves and comes to a boil .

It's starting to boil .

So I am going to add in a little bit of tap yoga flour .

You wanna mix this in .

Well , because we don't want these clumps .

If you find that you're clumping too much .

You can add a little bit of water to make that dissolve just a little bit easier .

And once it looks something like this , we're going to add in half of our tapioca mixtures , we're just gonna stir this really vigorously until it forms a super sticky dough .

Now that you got a super sticky dough like this , we're gonna turn the heat off .

We're gonna add in the rest of our tapioca flour .

And once that forms into a ball , we're going to move over to a new workstation and roll out the dough .

I just let our boba dough cool for a little bit and I am transferring it onto this clean counter and I'm just going to incorporate all the tap yo flour into the dough .

If your dough feels a little dry , you can add a little bit more water .

If you feel like your dough is too wet , you can add a little bit more tapioca flour .

I'm just gonna need it until it's all incorporated .

Once your dough is formed , it should look something like this .

Roll it into a thick little oval like this like potato .

I split it in half and then we can easily roll both out .

If it gets too long .

You can separate them when you think it's the right size , make it just a little bit smaller because it does expand when you cook it .

And the boba dough does get harder to roll once it cools down .

So if you want , you can put like a warm wet towel over part of the dough while you're rolling out the other part .

Alrighty .

So I have four thinly rolled boba dough logs and I am just going to put them together and I'm going to be cutting them into small little boba pieces , I think a quarter inch .

It's also ok that they're not all uniform .

So now that we've gotten them into our little baby pieces , we roll them up into little balls .

Let me show you a couple hacks on how I make this a little quicker of a process .

So of course , you can do it one by one like this and you have your little boba or sometimes I'm able to put five on my palm , I'll put my palm over the other and after some good old rolling , you'll have your delicious .

Uh It didn't work today is not a good day .

All right .

So after some time rolling , you'll be able to see that they come out like this .

Perfect .

And then we throw them into a bowl with some Tao flour and make sure they're well coated .

So they don't stick to each other .

The other hack is spreading them onto the cutting board or your counter wherever workspace that you choose and just go to town .

If you occasionally feel lazy in the kitchen like me , then this hack is great , but make sure your dough isn't too cold or this hack won't work .

Look at that little boba babies .

I call it boba .

But you know , um in different parts of the world , they are called something different .

Boba , bubble tea , pearls in Taiwan , they say which is pearl .

Now that the water has come to a rolling boil , we're going to add in all of our boba and we're gonna stir it so it doesn't stick together .

It's gonna turn a little cloudy just because of that excess tapioca flour that was coating it .

You can mainly leave it un bothered for the next 20 minutes or so .

While the boba is cooking , let's make our brown sugar syrup .

It's very simple .

We're just gonna add in some muscato sugar and some gonna mix it and let it reduce just a little bit .

So it's nice and viscous .

No , we are going to pour it into this heat resistant glass over here .

Yes .

Gorgeous .

So now that the boba is down , we're gonna drain it and rinse it with cold water to keep it from cooking even more .

And then we're gonna give our boba a brown sugar back .

You hear that ?

So we're gonna leave our boba in this brown sugar syrup bath for about 30 minutes to an hour .

Just so it can really soak up that delicious deep flavor of the muscato sugar .

Yum .

I put this one first because I think everyone trying boba for the first time should definitely try the classic boba milk tea experience .

The first step for making a bubble milk tea is to make our tea .

My favorite part is when the tea bag hits the water and then that heat that is slowly bubbling up .

It causes that tea leaf to just release its gorgeous dark brown hue .

And you can see those swirls in the water and then you take your spoon .

This is my favorite part .

You press on the tea bag and it just like explode with color .

So while the tea is cooling down , we're gonna make our milk mixture .

I personally love using condensed milk because I think it gives it a much richer flavor .

It makes your boba milk tea multidimensional .

And I want every experience with my boba to be multidimensional .

Once you have those two together , you can whisk until it's combined .

So this condensed milk mixture does make your drink even sweet , especially with the Muscato sugar bath that the boba is currently in .

So if you prefer your drinks to be less sweet , you can just sub it with more black tea .

On average .

When I go to boba shops , I get a 25% or 50% sweet time to assemble our first drink .

So we're gonna start by adding in our boba and then add in some ice and then we're gonna add in our black tea and top it with our sweetened milk .

I like to add it slowly over a spoon to slow down that pour and really get those swirls .

You can see that .

I'm actually failing here , but it's ok because it's still pretty and delicious .

And that's our first drink .

The classic black milk tea with boba .

Mm .

Wow .

That is so good .

All right guys .

The next drink we're making is a mango slush with boba .

It's absolutely delicious .

It was one of my childhood favorites because it's just so sweet and summery and refreshing .

It's super easy .

Take your blender and we're going to add in some frozen mango chunks , some water and some condensed milk and just blend away .

Once we've blended everything together , we can grab a glass and I'm adding in some boba that we made earlier and of course , topping it with our mango smoothie .

Look at how beautiful it is .

I love it .

Time to drink the mango smoothie with Bulba .

Oh This will be a throwback .

Mm Mango smoothie guys .

I mean , come on .

It's so refreshing .

The next drink we are going to make is a strawberry macha latte .

Let's start by making our strawberry puree .

We're gonna add in half a cup of diced strawberries and two tablespoons of sugar .

We're gonna muddle it with a fork until it's nice and juicy .

You can muddle it to your liking .

So if you like chunks in your drink , feel free to some chunks .

Now that we have it muddled , we're gonna let it sit for 10 minutes .

So while that's sitting , we're gonna go and make our tea .

We're gonna add a teaspoon of macha powder to a third cup of hot water and whisk it until bubbles form on the surface .

If you don't have a whisk or a macho whisk , don't worry , you can totally just use a fork .

We're gonna add in our boba per the usual and then we're gonna top it with our muddled strawberries .

Now put in the ice after the strawberries .

This will help with the layering .

We're gonna slowly add in the half and half .

The last step for this drink is to add our macha again .

Slowly pour it over this drink .

This drink is like very anxiety heavy .

Huh ?

Slowly oh slowly , slowly look guys .

It's so pretty strawberry mocha latte .

The colors are just absolutely gorgeous .

If you're trying to impress your friends , this is a drink to make , but I have to mix it .

I'm sad .

I have to but you know , it's just the way things are .

It actually is still very pretty .

Those chunks of strawberry are giving it a nice hint of red .

Mm It's the perfect blend of macha and strawberry .

It's light creamy and fruity .

I got a mouth full of strawberry puree and I'm in heaven .

This is the taro milk tea with boba .

It has a nuttiness to it that the other drinks don't have .

So I've already steeped my green tea and let it come to room temperature .

And now I'm gonna whisk my taro powder into the green tea .

If you haven't had Tara before taro is a root , I would compare it to a sweet potato but slightly more bland and slightly more sweet .

It's very delicious .

You can also sub the green tea with water if you're not looking for a caffeine kick .

But trust me , the taste with the green tea just elevates it to a whole other level .

Let's get to assembling , add in our boba , add some ice and then pour the taro tea into the glass and then slowly add in our two tablespoons of half and half .

Again , if you want that gorgeous swirl , you can pour it slowly over the back of a spoon , mix it up and it's time to drink .

Cheers when you are chewing it and the flavor of the taro milk tea is fusing with the boba flavor .

Next level .

Guys .

Next level .

This is like the big home run because I think it's the prettiest .

This is the P T latte with boba .

If you don't know what PT is , it's a type of tea derived from the butterfly pea flower and it has this beautiful blue color and if you squeeze a lemon into it , it turns purple .

Look at that .

A purple tea .

We're gonna steep a teaspoon of loose pet leaves in a cup of hot water for about five minutes and then we're gonna strain it and let it come to room temperature .

That's essentially it .

It's time to assemble .

And we're gonna start by adding in our boba ice and then pour in our P T .

Oh , it's so pretty .

Look at that blue .

I almost don't want to ruin it .

It's just so gorgeous .

But we are , we're gonna add in a couple of tablespoons of half and half and it will look like you're drinking the ocean and there you have it .

the P T latte with boba .

It's so gorgeous .

Let's give it a try .

Hm .

I would say it tastes like a very , very light version of Thai tea .

So if you enjoy lighter teas , this may be for you .

There you have it .

Five must try boba recipes that are delicious , unique and beautiful .
