Bubble Tea Travels

M. Tea Monster is cordially inviting you and all of your friends to follow this Monsieur Madness.

I created my first semi-successful Bubble Tea mixtures this... well... morning I guess? Twas messy and mother-aggravating but time worth spent! I first boiled my small tapioca in a large amount of water saturated with brown sugar and I tried brewing tea in it as well before the tapioca was added. For color I added red food coloring and when the "soup" got too thick and sticky I added more water. After about 20 minutes of constantly testing the chewyness and clearness of the tapioca balls I strained them in a wire strainer.

Make sure your tea is prebrewed and already chilled before your tapioca is done cookin'. Add in your poison *juice/flavored milk* and half and half on the tea/poison; tapioca at the bottom, as much as you want.

Mind you I tried this and it tasted gross but I used skimmed milk and orange juice, not the best of choices you may be thinking ;]

I may suggest a clear juice that's less strong and a thicker milk, 2% to whole, and an added flavor such as coconut milk or taro (if you can find it anywhere, that stuff is UH-mazing!).

The "bubbles" had pretty much no flavor and made me sick from eating so many but they were the right consistancy which is a great start! :D

Suggestions?

Moral of this: Find something good to do with your time.

Monster Man, out~
