Very Popular Bubble Tea

SUBMITTED BY: skybaby PHOTO BY: Allrecipes

"Bubble tea is very popular, especially to Asians, but now, more and more people from different backgrounds like the taste of it. I'm no expert at this, but I do know how to make it. It's simple but some of the ingredients may be a little tough to find. Just be patient and look for them in Chinese grocery stores. It is worth the trouble!"

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/3 cup pearl tapioca
  • 1 cup brewed black tea
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 4 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 cup ice cubes

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in 1 teaspoon sugar until it dissolves. Toss in the pearl tapioca. Cook for about 20 minutes. Rinse, drain, and refrigerate until chilled.
  2. Pour tea, milk, and 4 teaspoons sugar into a cocktail shaker. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the milk is well mixed in. Add the ice cubes, and shake so the whole drink can get cold. Pour into a glass, and add tapioca.
