For example, in Chinese, Boba is called Zhengzhou nai cha and boba nai cha. Bubble tea is a tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s. Taiwanese immigrants brought it to the United States in the 1990s, initially in California through regions like Los Angeles County.

What bubble tea looks like falls under two categories: tea without milk and milk teas. Both varieties have a choice of black, green, or oolong tea as the base. Milk teas usually include powered Milk or fresh Milk but may also use condensed Milk, Almond Milk, soy milk, or coconut milk. The oldest known bubble tea drink consisted of hot Taiwanese black tea, tapioca pearls, condensed Milk, and syrup or honey. Nowadays, bubble tea is most commonly served cold. The tapioca pearls that make bubble tea so unique were initially made from the starch of cassava, a tropical shrub known for its starchy roots. It was introduced to Taiwan from South America during Japanese colonial rule. More enormous pears quickly replaced these.

In the history of bubble tea, There are two competing stories for the discovery of bubble tea. One is associated with the Chun Shui Tang tea room in Taichung. Its founder, Liu Han-Chieh, began serving Chinese tea cold after she observed coffee was served cold in Japan while visiting in the 1980s. The new style of serving tea propelled his business, and multiple chains serving this tea were established. The company’s product development manager, Lin Hsiu Hui, said she created the first bubble tea in 1988 when she poured tapioca balls into her tea during a staff meeting and encouraged others to drink it. The beverage was well received by everyone at the meeting, leading to its inclusion on the menu. It ultimately became the franchise’s top-selling product.

Let’s talk about why people like bubble tea. Bubble tea is separate for all ingredients: tea, Milk, pearls, some sugar, and little ice. That would be all the ingredients to make bubble tea, and some people say the bubble is not suitable for health for drinking a lot. In July 2019, Singapore’s Mount Alvernia Hospital warned against the high sugar content of bubble tea since the drink had become extremely popular in Singapore. While it acknowledged the benefits of drinking green tea and black tea in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis and cancer, respectively, the hospital cautions that the addition of other ingredients like non-dairy creamer and toppings in the tea could raise the fat and sugar content of the tea and increase the risk of chronic diseases. Non-dairy creamer is a milk substitute that contains trans fat in hydrogenated palm oil. The hospital warned that The other concern about bubble tea is its high-calorie content, partially attributed to the High-carbohydrate tapioca. Pearls can make up to half the calorie count in a 500ml serving of bubble tea. This oil has been Thisrongly correlated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

This part is about how to make bubble tea. First, we cook the pearls. First, fill a large pot halfway full with water and bring it to a boil. Add a liquid sweetener to infuse sweetness into the tapioca balls as they cook. I like to use stevia or monk fruit drops, or you could use simple syrup if preferred. Second, Once boiling, add uncooked black tapioca pearls. Lightly stir until they begin to float, then cover and simmer for about 3 minutes. Third, remove from the heat and drain the boba pearls after boiling. I prefer gently removing them from the hot water with a slotted spoon. Finally, transfer cooked tapioca pearls to a bowl and cover with room temperature water until ready to serve. Fourth, To help, add a few tablespoons of cooked boba pearls into a cup, pour homemade bubble milk tea on top, and serve with a boba straw! Now we are cooking the milk tea part; we can use: any tea you like and use boiling water. After the tea is ready, you can put the cooked tea in the already-cooked pearls. Still, before that, we can add some brown sugar inside the cup and move it around for the glass so the brown sugar is all around it. It will taste so good when you put the Milk, and you put the glass in the refrigerator and let the tea cold down a little bit; that would taste good for the summer drink, and you came to enjoy the drink at home with the fans or air conditioning. Also, you can drink and eat some cakes that will be the afternoon tea.
