Collection: Make your own delicious and healthy Bubble Tea

What is Bubble Tea?

Bubble Tea or boba tea is a type of milk tea with toppings. The classic bubble tea originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. The locals added chewy tapioca balls ("boba" or "pearls") to their milk tea and created the so-called "black pearl milk tea". Unlike the traditional milk tea, the bubble tea is usually drunk as a cold drink, similar to an iced coffee.

Bubble Tea became immensely popular in Asia in the 1990s, but has now also been discovered in Europe. It's a real hype. One Bubble Tea shop after another is popping up in many European cities.

Over the years, more and more Bubble Tea variants have been added. By changing the topping of the Bubble Tea, you can easily create different flavors of Bubble Tea. In addition to the classic chewy tapioca balls, pudding, sweet beans, and taro balls are also popular topping choices.

What!? "Cheese" Bubble Tea??

Perhaps inspired by the art of latte, another trend of popular topping is the thick milk foam. With the extremely creamy milk foam poured on top of the bubble tea, this new variant is call “Cheese tea”. Well, I know what you are thinking, but don’t get shocked. There is no salty smelly cheese in the “Cheese tea”. The “cheese” refers to the creamy foam on the bubble tea, which reminds the drinker of the creamy cheese cake.

Why do we like Bubble Tea?

The fresh taste from the tea, the creamy taste of the milk or foam, the various flavors and textures of the topping… There are so many variants of bubble tea and there are also so many reasons to love bubble tea. Another reason for liking the bubble tea is that it can be enjoyed all year long. In the summer it’s delicious ice cold and in the winter it’s soothing to drink it warm.

Bubble tea is also very easy to adjust to your personal taste. Simply change the base tea to achieve different tastes and adjust the portion of tea and milk to reach the perfect balance to your liking. If you have a sweet tooth, then you can make it sweeter, if you prefer it “pure”, simply skip the sugar.
