Introduction Everything You Needed to know about Boba
Tea or Boba Tea came originally from Taiwan and was served hot. Now when we learn how to make Boba Tea, it is served cold. most of the proper Boba or Bubble Tea shops serve the drinks placing a seal across the top of the cup with plastic. This allows you to pierce the plastic with a straw when you are ready to drink it.
The traditional way of making the tea was to use a Boba Tea shaker to shake all the ingredients together by hand. In Taiwan, one maker has fully automated the process. The first time Tapioca was used in tea was in 1988, in Taiwan, and the trend became popular.
In the 1990s some Taiwanese people opened the first Boba Tea shop. Soon it gained popularity in most countries of the world, especially among teenage girls who can’t get enough of it.
Bubble Tea with Milk
The nicest Boba tea that I have tasted was made from condensed milk and if you are familiar with condensed milk it is very sweet and the flavor fuses perfectly with the milk without adding sugar. This is the ideal iced tea for Summer and then add the Tapioca pearls.
Many people in Asia are lactose intolerant, so using sweetened condensed milk is better for their health, and in third world countries, it is often given to babies as a formula when the mother can’t feed the baby naturally.
