bubble shooter pet, https://goo.gl/WMCXgi. Bubble tea is a cold drink that is very popular in Asia. The bubbles that are found in the tea are actually tapioca pearls that are large in size. The pearls add a very interesting feel and taste to the bubble tea. This drink is usually served cold so it is relatively important that you prepare the tea ahead of time. This will allow the tea plenty of time to chill to the desired temperature. This tea has recently found its way in the Southern States of American restaurants and its slowly penetrating the other States. Nowadays, many people want this recipe so that they can make this refreshing drink by themselves.


The bubble tea recipe includes the following ingredients:

. Milk

. Tapioca Pearls (Large)

. Black tea

. Ice

. Sweetener

In addition to these ingredients, you will also require a cocktail shaker (for mixing the drink) and straws (extra wide) for drinking the bubbles.


First and foremost you prepare the bubble tea by making the black tea. While the black tea is still hot, add the sweetener (you can add honey or sugar). You should use 1 table spoon of your preferred sweetener for one cup of black tea. It is always advisable to use a lesser amount of sweetener since you may add more later on in case it was not enough. After that, put the tea in the refrigerator to chill.


The next step in this recipe is to prepare the tapioca for the bubble tea. Take a large saucepan and pour some water in it. Heat the water till it reaches the boiling point then put one cup of the pearls inside. Stir the pearls slowly but consistently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. Tapioca pearl is normally very delicate hence you have to take extra care when preparing them.


After about a minute, the pearls will begin to float. After this, reduce the gas flame to a medium heat and allow cooking slowly. Cover the pearls and continue cooking for another 25 minutes. After this, the tapioca pearls should be well cooked and the step that follows in the bubble tea recipe is to turn off the heat. Once the heat is off, allow them to sit in the warm water for an additional 25 minutes. However, it is important to look at the directions on the pack of the type of tapioca pearls you are using since cooking directions might vary slightly.


The final step in this tea recipe is assembling the bubble tea. Drain the water from the tapioca pearls and rinse them again with lukewarm water. Put the tapioca pearls on the cup's bottom. After this, pour the same ratio of milk to ice tea with some ice in the shaker. Shake it well until everything is mixed up and thick. Pour the mixture into the other cup with the tapioca pearls and serve. The bubble tea is best when drunk with a straw.
