This dairy or fruity delight has become popular in occidental countries for the past 2 years but this Taiwanese drink has been made on the island since the 1980s and had spread quickly to the majority of East Asian countries.
Tapioca pearls that sit on the bottom of the drink bring an interesting texture and chew that gives a dessert dimension to the drink.
For everyone’s pleasure, bubble teas comes in several versions, the classic recipe is made with black tea but you can also enjoy it with other teas (like this matcha tea recipe available here), replace it with juice or fruit syrup for example. Even tapioca pearls can be substituted by fruit pearls. I would also do an article to learn how to make it at home.
As you may have understood, the recipe I give you today can really be adapted to everyone’s tastes so have fun with it !
