  • We aren't just making the flavored milk tea... When I say homemade, I mean everything. From the fresh brewed milk tea all the way down to the brown sugar syrup and the homemade tapioca pearls, also known as boba pearls!

      Not sure about Taiwan, or your Taiwanese culture, but Taiwan is not making a great impression for me. My boba went horribly wrong and I realised it was all because of the 'Tapioca Starch' I bought, I searched the Chinese Character on the bag and it says Gorgon Powder instead of the big, bold "TAPIOCA POWDER" printed on the packet.
      It was, obiviously imported from Taiwan and I'm just wondering, is this Taiwanese Factory is making this printing error on purpose to make customers buy it? Or they are just so bad at english that they couldn't have double checked if the english imprinting on it were wrong or not?
      And I swear, this is not the first time something like this have happened to me. The Taiwanese factories have a grudge against english or something, cuz they are always deceiving us consumers.
      And also, through out the whole video he said nothing about Taiwan, his idea of using stainless straws are purely his kind act towards the envirnment. Are all Taiwaness this self-entitled, and so eager to relate every good act with Taiwan?
      I don't mean to offend anyone, so please no Taiwan nationalist come attack me🤣
      Lastly, a genuine question, is Taiwan an independent country? If so, how did they become one?

    Thanks for the awesome video! I've made both the Earl Grey and the Matcha now.
    Some tips for viewers:
    1 cup of tapioca starch/flour total. You can find that in the recipe he provides in the description.
    I just add it all at once slowly after I bring the heat down and it seems to do the same for me.
    Tapioca starch is the same as tapioca flour.
    The syrup is great without the molasses if you don't have it.
    If you get oobleck when you should have dough and it all seems hopeless, put it back in and cook it on low heat for a little while. It'll lose the oobleck quality and become more of a dough after a little while.
    If it is crazy sticky and you think you've added enough tapioca, add a bunch more tapioca and you will be surprised that it will become better. I mean a bunch.
    If you have a lumpy mess, you added the starch too fast without mixing well or you had it too hot. Just try again.
    Take his advice and reheat the dough when it seems to not be rolling well. I dip my hands in a little water too while rolling and that helps also. + His advice on using ice cubes really makes a difference.
    Definitely give yourself some time to do this. It has taken me consistently over 2 hours each time and it makes a pretty good mess.
    Also be forgiving if your balls don't look perfect or seem a little cracked. Mine still boiled and became boba just fine.
    Have a great day👍

    CAUTION: I tried this recipe twice and every time the dough is too dry and brittle. I suggest adding 20-30ml more water. Then it becomes more malleable and easy to work with. If not for the added water, it just falls apart into a crumb fest.

      Yeah the amount of water you need will vary depending on what brand of starch you're using ^^
      When I make boba I usually start off with a small amount of boiling water, then add splashes of boiling water until the dough becomes workable and a bit like playdoh in texture.

      As with any dough, the amount of water-to-flour ratio will depend on many factors, including the temperature of the room and the humidity of the room. So toss your caution - Joshua did just fine. Perhaps he could've mentioned that you may need to add a little more flour or a little more water, yes, but _for him on that day,_ that was the right recipe.

    When I was living in the Philippines 20+ years ago, before the boba craze, we used to buy the uncooked pearls from the supermarket. Boil them until al dente (by this time the water has reduced), add brown sugar. Add some leaves of pandan. Cook pearls until done. It would smell so nice in our house. Here in the US, you can use vanilla in lieu of pandan.

  • @user-il2ue2ip1f
    @user-il2ue2ip1f 3 роки тому +1780

    Note to anyone here: milk tea is traditionally made with milk added to the tea, which is the temperature you prefer, then shaken/stirred, and this is going to give you a lot more tea flavor as well as flexibility on how much flavor you want. Infusing tea into hot milk may sound like a good idea, but in actuality, heating the milk hot enough to infuse any flavor from the lose leaf tea is going to be too hot and end up scalding your milk, giving it an undesirable cooked flavor rather than a nice and fresh cream flavor. Also, trying to use loose leaf tea in milk is just not going to extract much flavor due to the milk being heavy, and again, you want whatever liquid being used to be hot to extract the most flavor, but you don't want to be keeping your milk at such high temperatures for so long.

Plus, the tea isn’t going to infuse into the milk too much as you need hot liquids for infusion and heating milk to high temps is just 😐. Perhaps a 1:2 ratio of tea to milk would be good ig.

    For anyone who wants a more simple approach, I used tea bags from Trader Joe’s. I steeped two earl grey tea bags (I only used a little water) to make a concentrate and then I added oat milk, blue agave and the tapioca in a glass together. I never thought about cooking the milk with the tea leaves in it! That sounds good too😍

      This is quite different from the original Taiwanese milk tea, though. Infusing tea into hot milk is a Japanese or Indian method. It has a cooked milk flavor that is not present in Taiwanese milk tea.
      Earl Grey is also very much not a traditional choice. The added bergamot flavoring may distract from the tea or milk. Using unadulterated Assam or Ceylon would yield a more classic milk tea.
