Boba Tea


Boba Tea
Tapioca Pearls
    Boba Tea. Also known as "bubble tea " is now quite popular in dense, urban cities with some Asian cuisine. The juice concoctions range from the original milk tea to more contemporary flavors such as avocado and kiwi. The second component that puts the 'boba' in boba tea are the sticky, chewy, marble-sized "spheres of goodness" (a.k.a. bobas, bubbles, and tapioca pearls) bring the entire drink together. Believe it or not, these sweet balls of shaped gelatinous sweet-potato starch can be cooked at home (see your local Asian market). Boba teas make great treats any time, any where, whenever. So whether you're on the go or sitting down, take a sip, a chew and enjoy.
