recently i find craving for bubble tea so strong that I can't get any of those from nearby due to many bubble tea shops are closed due to current circumstances, so I decided to made my own, I bought the Tapioca flour from costco (also found them on Amazon too). and I have to say, it turns out to be great and it was actually quite easy to make, so I thought to share this recipe to those who loves bubble tea and want to try making it home from scratch, it is easy to store and also you can adjust the sweetness of the balls by adding more or less brown sugar to it.

here is the video recipe for those who are interested: https://youtu.be/E_il4ZLaf6A

Ingredient:

{Boba}

• Tapioca 100g (¾ Cup+1Tbsp)
• Brown Sugar 45g (3Tbsp)
• Water 60ml (¼ Cup)
• Brown Sugar 30g (2Tbsp)

{Molasses}

• Brown Sugar 100g (½ Cup)
• Water 60ml (¼ Cup)
• Honey 15g (1Tbsp)

Direction:

1. Add 3 Tbsp of water and brown sugar to the pot and cook over medium-low heat until the brown sugar melts.
2. After boiling, add half of the tapioca powder and stir quickly for 15 seconds before turning off the heat.
3. After turning off the heat, add the remaining half of tapioca powder to the pot and stir to form a lump.
4. After kneading the dough until it is smooth and smooth, use a rolling pin to flatten the dough.
5. Cut the flattened dough into small cubes 1 cm in size.
6. Rub the small cubes into a round ball, you can pick up some cassava powder to prevent sticking.
7. Sift the excess cassava powder from the outer layer of the powder circle.
8. After the water boils, add the powder circles and stir to prevent the powder circles from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
9. Stir until the water boils again, cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes.
10. Wait for 15 minutes, turn off the heat, open the lid, and after stirring again, cover the lid and let it sit for 10 minutes.
11. Remove the powder balls, add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and mix well to prevent the powder balls from sticking and at the same time to allow the powder balls to absorb the sweetness of brown sugar.
12. Boil {Black Molasses}, add water, brown sugar, and honey to the pot and cook on medium-low heat until small bubbles appear and become thick. Pour into a bottle and store it in a refrigerator.

Enjoy!
