As the Kombucha, bubble tea is one of the trend drinks, but do you really know it? Find out more about it in this article and test a very easy recipe to make your bubble tea at home!

What is Bubble Tea?

Bubble tea or boba tea means tea with pearls or bubbles. Originally from Taiwan, this drink was born in the 80s. It is a delicious blend of green tea, or black with fruity flavors and usually with an addition of milk (almond, soy). The large tapioca pearls that line the bottom of the glass make it a unique and rather atypical drink. The tapioca beads of size XXL are aspirated thanks to a big straw. This soft and sweet drink is perfect for a gourmet and refreshing break!

Recipe for bubble tea: mango and coconut milk

Ingredients

2 cups of large black, green or white tapioca beads
1 sachet of green tea 1 can of coconut milk of 400 ml
2 cups mango nectar or 2 fresh mixed mangos

Preparation

Cook tapioca beads for about 20 minutes in boiling water.
Let rest for 20 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water.

Bring a cup of water to a boil.
Place the tea bag in the water and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool. Allow to cool for 30 minutes. Pour the tea in the mixer container add coconut milk and mango nectar.

Emulsify 30 seconds.

Distribute the tapioca beads in the glasses. Add the ice cubes then the mixture to the tea. Serve and taste with a big straw, the turn is played ☺

Tea drinkers we are, we like to vary the tea accessories: cups, teapot, tea infuser ... There are many practical and useful accessories to use for your tea breaks at any time of the day.

Discover in this post a list of the "indispensable" to have at home ☺

A teaspoon

It’s important to know how to properly dose your tea! For that the accessory you need is a teaspoon, it indicates you exactly the dose necessary to infuse and also avoids the waste!

Cup brewer

The cup brewer is by far the most useful accessory when you want to infuse bulk tea for individual servings. There are all sorts of strainers, balls, in the form of characters, flowers, but also in different materials. You choose !

Teapot with infuser

The same principle as the individual infuser, the teapot with integrated infuser will be more convenient for larger amounts of tea (up to 3 or 4 cups depending on the teapot).

Matcha Whip

The bamboo whip is indispensable in the preparation of matcha tea. When boiling water is poured over the tea, the whisk will get a creamy and delicious foam! Stir up energetically and the trick is played.

The piston cup

Hot or cold, the piston cup is very convenient to prepare your tea of the day. Take it anywhere with you, it will retain the quality and flavor of your infusion.
