My girlfriend absolutely loves the stuff! I believe they originated in one or several Asian countries? I know in Aus we have Happy Cup (Chinese I think), Easyway and another that originated in Vietnam.
They are generally not my style of drink, but on a hot summers day I do enjoy downing a fruit version and munching on those tapioca pearls!
Who wants to play "find the custom title"?

Whats really fun is to shoot those balls like spitballs from the straw. Those things have quite a distance!

I think Lux is regretting posting this thread already, because you've now given me the idea to shoot tapioca balls at her.
Oddly enough, making it at home makes my stomach turn. It tastes good until I wake up at 3 in the morning with pain..
The store stuff does me good though, Thai milk tea, extra boba mmm
I love bubble tea and there's a ton of places to get it close to me! I like taro the best!
I actually bought a half pound and tried to make it at home......It isn't very easy at all and I ruined the whole bag.......The balls must be boiled and then soaked in a sugar solution for a day or something like that....or maybe its the other way around. You soak them first then boil.......That doesnt sound right.....I can't recall, all I know is that it ended in me dumping them all in the trash.......I was quite annoyed.....A tea shop near me sold it. The name of the place is "Teavana". I recently went back to buy some of them again and try my luck for the last time and they actually do not sell the pearls anymore nor do they make bubble tea anymore either....I was quite upset. You can buy them online quite cheaply though if you would like to give it a shot.....I think I was just a little impatient when I was trying to prepare them....
YES Taro bubble tea is my favorite too, I think it's one of the best flavors besides mango!
