Alright Asians, tell me your secret (1 Viewer)

[Ivorytw]

Okay, so I love pearl tea, bubble tea, BOBA tea or whatever the hell else you want to call it.

But I find paying $5 a little ridiculous for some balled starch.

I have tried making the tapioca balls from a dried form I got in an Asian grocer and I cooked them exactly the way the packet said and they tasted disgusting. Nothing like the tapioca balls from easyway/chatime.

I've cooked tapioca or sago plenty of times before and it is always great. But I want the big black ones.

If any of you get them/ what brand do you get and how do you cook it?

I prefer it in just a regular milk tea. so I don't know if that has any contribution to how you cook them.

HELP ME I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY WESTERN SECRETS

 

[Ivorytw]

tell me!

 

[ZombieApocalypse]

Nevar!!!


mwahahaha >:|

loljokes. idk.
have you asked the people in the shop?

 

[Ivorytw]

No... I thought about following them after work and trying to befriend them.

Because it's probably not greath business to tell people your secrets in the shop.

I'm sorry, but the correct answer we were looking for was: the blood of the innocent......i repeat! the blood of the innocent.

I'm afraid that's all the time we have for this week folks. Tune in next week for a one on one with Abraham Lincoln and his new celebrity diet!

...But I want the big black ones...

That's what she said.

 

[Ivorytw]

what can I say, I like sucking on big black balls.

 

[MissSquiggly]

Isn't there a sort of mix they buy and they mix it with water and put ice in it?

There's also like... prepared pearls, right?

I really don't know.

In Asian stores, they sell milk tea.

You could just buy the pearls and boil them for a bit

And then let it cool.. Then drop it into the already-made tea...?

I think milk tea is just black tea with milk and sugar
