Within the past few years, Taiwanese boba tea has gained so much popularity spreading all over the world, and has made a huge impact in the United States. If you don’t have a boba store near you – not to worry! This simple recipe will have you sipping on bubble tea in no time!
Boba is made primarily from tapioca starch which gives it an irresistibly chewy texture. Fresh boba straight out of the pot might be the bestboba you will ever have. With the proper technique, making boba is fairly easy. Here are a few tips.
Once you combine all the ingredients, make sure to roll theboba balls before the dough dries up and hardens. Once the dough hardens, you will not be able to shape it intoboba balls. You also want to also make sure to use extra tapioca starch for dusting to prevent the balls from sticking to each other. It will be difficult to detach from each other once it is stuck. Boba should be eaten as soon as you make it otherwise it will harden and lose its chewiness.
