5 steps to make classic bubble tea

first step

To cook pearls, here is how to cook them: buy pearls, boil the water, and then pour in an appropriate amount of pearls. Then stir constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Close the lid. Once it pops out, turn down the heat and cook for another 20 minutes. Still needs stirring. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and simmer for another 20 minutes. Including the boiling of water, this will take a total of 1 hour. Finally, slowly pour out the hot water, and keep adding cold water and stirring to cool it down (note that you should use a spoon to stir, not your hands, because the pearls are super hot!). Repeat the cooling process about 10 times. Feel it with your hand. It can be taken out when it is basically cold. The pearls are now cooked.

Pearls are best eaten within 5 hours of cooking. After a long time, the pearls will no longer be chewy. Pearls must not be kept overnight, and cannot be refrigerated. Therefore, when making pearls, you must control the quantity and amount to avoid waste.

Step 2

Just brew the tea bag. Use common red (green) tea bags on the market, brew with 350mL~500mL hot water, and set aside.

Step 3

Add appropriate seasoning. 350mL~500mL water with 30g creamer (or coffee maker). Bring 500g of water to a boil and add 750g of sugar, stirring while adding, to obtain 22oz (638mL) of syrup (you can also directly replace it with honey).

Step 4

It is to add pearl powder balls. Rinse the pearls (about 30g per cup) in medium heat for 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water and store in syrup or honey (for better flavor).

Step 5

Make the right amount of ice. Put 3~4 ice cubes, 30g creamer, one tablespoon of syrup in a shaker cup, add 300mL~400mL of black tea, cover the cup tightly, shake until all the ice cubes in the cup are melted, and finally add the roasted pearls to make a perfect cup of pearl milk tea!
