❤️ Turn off the heat completely and allow everything to rest for an additional 15-minutes

where do you buy the boba pearls at?
@@mybuddyroland4968 A Bubble Tea Shop Supplier. They are located all around the world, or direct from Taiwan.
(Or sometimes local Asian markets have the long cook type too in a smaller quantity.) 👍🏼
@@BubbleTeaKristin ok
@@BubbleTeaKristin thanks btw
@@mybuddyroland4968 My shops were in the UK so I enjoyed using the brand 'Boba Box UK', but there are so many different suppliers out there and each one is slightly different. Never hurts to try as many bobas as possible before you commit. 🤣
The most detailed instructions ever. I felt like a child in elementary school. Great teacher
Glad it was helpful!
You are a natural born teacher! I have a coffee business and am excited to start serving boba. Thanks for teaching me! I had no idea so much went into making boba!
Aw Jenna, That's so kind of you to say! I really appreciate the positive feedback 🤩😁
I wish you all the best in adding boba to your menu! 🧋🧋🧋
You’re a really good teacher, Kristin! You explain things so clearly!
Ah! Thanks so much 😍
Yes! I was just going to say the same thing.
@@BubbleTeaKristin u deserve more likes and subs
@@heatherm2621 thank you 😇
@@touma687 aw thanks 👍🏼🙏🏼
THANK YOU for explaining the importance of using high quality boba vs. quick book. It makes a WORLD of a difference!!
YAY!!! So happy you appreciate the fact! 😂
Thanks for your comment 😍
You are a natural and I really appreciate how thorough you explained the entire process. Thank you so much!!!
Hello Gina 👋🏼 You're very welcome! Glad you found value in the video and explanation. 😇 And thank you for your support of my channel. 😍🧋❤️ All the best to you and your journey!
I love your energy! You have a gift for explaining things so clearly on your channel! & love your content!! 👏🏼
Thank you so much!!! 😍
Thank you so much for all of the information. I've been a Chef, F&B guy for decades and now I decided to open a Boba Cafe in Chicago. All I know is Food but your videos have been invaluable in educating me about Boba Tea!
Aw wow that's fab!!! You're very welcome. Thank you for the kind compliment. I'm happy you appreciate my video and in-depth explanations. I always think it's easier to dive deeper if you understand the simple reasoning behind it. Hopefully my videos will continue to be helpful! All the best to you in your journey! 😊😊😊🧋🧋🧋
I love your videos!! We've opened up our own shop here in Germany and so glad we've discovered your channel! Lots of trial and error on our end, happy to see a fellow professional and boba lover teaching! Very clear and direct presentation, love your energy :)
Hey! Thanks so much for reaching out 🙂
I'm so happy for you to open your own shop
❤️
When I started mine over 5-years ago, there were NO resources on UA-cam or even online. So I feel it's my part of giving back to others who definitely need it.
If we can all serve delicious bubble tea, it will become more loved by all, and in return more people will buy it which means higher profits for shop owners around the world 🧋😻
I totally understand trial and error... It's a monthly fun game really in creating new drinks! But if you like the end results, and your customers like it, that what matters most 😇
All the best to you!!!🥰
Hi kaina.. hope everything went well with your new shop. I’m thinking of doing the same but in Egypt! Do you mind sharing some pointers on your shop opening experience? Things you glad you did, things you wish you did differently
I really love the way u explain every single thing.i made the boba today according to your method.Delicious! Thank u so much..love
Yes 👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks so much for the positive feedback 🌹😍
Great as always 🥰 Thank you for your clear and detailed explanation.

Hello 👋🏼
Wow. I've heard of this method but never met anyone who uses it successfully.
Please feel free to share with this community your measurements and timings for the machine 👋🏼
I have been looking and looking for a video that shows how to keep the Boba fresh for serving to customers. Thank you.
Oh wow! So glad you finally found one ☺️ Hope it was informative in many ways. Any questions I hope I can help 👍🏼

Thank you so much, Kristin! Your videos with detailed instructions are just great! Please, if possible, could you share the brand/shop where you are ordering boba pearls?
Hi - I'm located in the UK - and the main supplier over here is 'Boba Box'. They also ship to Europe. If you're outside of these, you may need to contact them via their website for possible delivery info.
*I am not sponsored by them, but I happily used their products in my shop for over 5-years.
Hope that helps!

Hi thanks for posting such an informative video. May i ask what brand of rice cooker you suggest and thermos for the hot water and teas?
You're welcome Muhammad 👍🏼
I enjoyed using the rice cooker brand Buffalo here in the UK.
The tea urns I bought through a bubble tea supplier distribution company. They're just generic imported from China type thing. 😉
(Come in different sizes and colors)
Thank you for being helpful to this, very informative video. I'm planning to start Boba Milk business. God Bless you & more power.
Hi Joyce,
Thank you for your kind compliment and comments. So happy to hear my videos have been helpful to you. I wish you all the best with your business! 😇🧋😍
Great video! Awesome content! 👍🏻
Thanks so much Daniel 😁😃🧋
Hey Kristin! This video was extremely helpful for what I'm trying to pursue. Do you do pop up events at farmers markets or night markets? It would be awesome to see you post a video going through the preparation process.
Hello Cyril,
Yes I did events and popups. Everything is the same, but at least one day (or more) of prep for everything 😅 Just do everything at a larger scale, keep it refrigerated, etc...
Boba is tricky. Ideally needs to be made on site, numerous boba cookers, one staff just dedicated to making boba at large events. 😅 Small events it can be made in advance and kept warm.
I sold all my shops and businesses now so I don't foresee myself making a video about it all any time soon, but perhaps I can tag along with one of my clients in the future and release that as a video.😉😇
Good luck!!!
This channel really deserves recommendations
Thank you 🙏🏼
best guide ive seen in yt ❤ ty!
Wow, thanks! 😍😍😍
you are so thorough with your teachings! i never realized all the steps for making boba! paying $6 for boba tea is well worth it!
Ah! Thanks so much 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Commenting for the algo! Great content, super informative You have such a charismatic attitude, I am sold!
Awesome Henry! 👍🏻Thanks 🙏🏼
Hi, thanks for this video!! Super informative and precise. I have a question - if you don’t have a rice cooker for your shop, where do you store you cooked boba throughout the day as your serving? Thanks!
You're welcome Anya, glad it was useful 😇.
If you don't have a small rice cooker to keep it insulated, and with the option to be able to warm it slightly during the day, it is no problem. Especially if you live in a warm climate, you can simply serve it out of whatever container you want and it will be fine. I grew up in Southern California and Boba was always just stored out because the temperature was so hot and everyone hard. However in the UK it is cold throughout the year in comparison. The place where I currently live doesn't get above 20° c in the summer. 😂 Also perhaps in the winter your location might become cold also. The idea is just to make sure that the boba doesn't go hard. But if you don't have this issue then I wouldn't worry about it. 👏🏼🧋☺️
Great video Kristin! I like to see videos like these!
Thanks for the feedback ☺️ Take Care 🙂
@@BubbleTeaKristin thank u, I made sure to like other videos of yours! You deserve more followers! Keep up the good work! 👍

You're very welcome Azat! 👍🏻
Thanks!
Hello @Motherhen3 👋🏼 You're very welcome! And thank you for your donation 🤩 Happy to bring you more fun drink videos every week 😍
Kristin, I absolutely LOVE your videos, and energy!! I have two questions for you please. What is your favorite US boba and boba shop essentials supplier? What package of yours would you recommend for me as I am in the process of opening up a café with hot tea, bubble tea, coffee and crepes in the US? Thank you so very much!
Hi Dominika,
You're so kind. Thank you. 😇😁
I'm able to create a bespoke equipment list for my clients depending on what sort of recipes and drinks they are serving, however in the US there isn't one supplier that I found to be perfect for everything. But my clients have given me feedback from different ones they've used which I share privately.
Feel free to email me through my website and we can set up a free 15 minute voice consultation call, which I offered to all prospective clients. This helps both of us to know if or what areas you might be needing help with and where I can be of assistance.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing your insight, I actually cooked my bobas the way you explained (15 min, stir, 15 min, rest 15 min) it was on the stove but I have never had such perfect texture. I was sure my bobas were bad quality, turns out my cooking was at fault 😅 thank you again !
OMG! That's such great news! (The part about my recipe working for you! 😅)
Thanks for sharing 😊🙏🏼🧋🥰
Hey Kristin! These videos have helped me a bunch! I would love to know how youd make the tiger milk teas!
Looking forward to your response!
Hello 👋🏼
Thanks for the comment 🥰
Which sort of Tiger do you mean? The older version of it, or the newer trendy version of it...?
I have a video coming out Sunday that shows the newer version.👍🏼
If you watch my 'how to make boba pearls at home from scratch' video, I also show how to make it the newer type, generally speaking... But instead of adding the Thai Tea at the end of the video... Just add milk. And Viola! You have 'Tiger Milk'. 😇😍
@@BubbleTeaKristin thank you so much For your help Kristin! It’s much appreciated
Hi , May I know if we need to use both boba cooker 22:30 and boba warmer ? Can I use all in one pot in baba cooker n warm it in the same pot ?
You could do as you're asking. 👍🏻
But it's a good idea If you're only making one batch at home or for a party.
If you have a shop and you plan on making more than one batch, what will you transfer the tapioca pearls to while you are cooking another batch that takes an hour and a half?
If it's summer and the weather is warm, you can transfer it to whatever you want. But if it's colder, you'll need to keep it warmly insulated... So up to you really 😁
Thank you
You're welcome Miss Pat 🤠
I looooove milk tea with boba!!! 🧋🧋🧋
Me too 😊🧋🔥
great video thank you
Glad it was helpful! 😍
I’m in the UK ❤️❤️ I wanna come visit your store!
Hi Amy! YAY!!! 😍
I sold my shops during the 2020 lockdowns, but the new owners are great! They just reopened a few days ago (after 1-year being closed😬)
So be sure to stop by and check the place out! 😍
I have been working in Chinese bubble tea shop since 4 years
I can juice many types of items.
I am working in Chinese bubble tea shop in Dubai
nice 👌
I love your teaching. my ONLY concern is contamination from the sink when you first pour into the strainer. The level in the sink looks to meet the boba in the strainer, and that is a disaster if there is ANY contaminants in the sink (and most home sinks are filthy even after being cleaned). I suggest placing the strainer on an upside-down dish to raise it above the bottom of the sink. This goes for anything you are straining. Fruits, pasta, boba....careful of cross-contamination! :-)
There's always that one person who has make issues out of nothing, idk if ur blind or something, but if u look properly there is a 1in stand on the strainer, so it won't touch. You didn't even double check before commenting.
@Nihal Gaming I did watch it, and I went and rewatched it just now, and if you look, the level of the liquid in the sink is so high it reaches past the curve of the bottom of the colander/strainer, which increases chance of cross-contamination.
I posted something positive with a safety concern. I didn't judge or disparage the channel or the author. You should try that sometime.
Well don't you think a professional restaurant like this wouldn't have already taken things into consideration, also the level of water looked to be about 1cm while the stand of the strainer was about 1in
Really? 😂😂😂
Hi, if we are cooking in the pot do we need cover while cooking for the 30 minutes procedure? thanks
Yes, best to keep the water inside so the liquid level doesn't boil down... Whereas if you keep on the lid, less water molecules will escape. However you don't want to have it airtight, just enough to let a little bit of the steam out.
I also have a video where I show you how to cook boba at home in a smaller size batch, I think it is in the same playlist as this one. "Boba Basics"
Hey! Great video. Just wondering what’s the shelf life after it’s cooked.??
Hi Roxanna,
4-hours in a shop. But if you're at home for personal use... As long as you want 😉
i love the way u teach
how can we buy boba and other product for it from nepal❣️
Thanks Kalpana 😇🥰🙏🏼
Nepal... Wow!
Hmm... Have you seen my recent video where I shared all about finding a supplier? ☺️ Watching that video is a good beginning point. It came out in July.
Great info, thank you :)
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
Such a useful series, thank you. I'm using these instructions as I price out the servings of each product component. Could you tell me how many servings this 700g batch will typically make?
Hello Emi, Happy to answer your question... I just looked through the comments section as I couldn't recall off the top of my head. 😅 "Approx 20 drinks depending on your scoop size 👍🏼"
Hope this helps. I'm glad you've found value in the series! Thanks for watching. 🧋
@@BubbleTeaKristin Thanks 👍
Wow! Such great, detailed video! Can you share the Taiwanese restaurant grade boba supplier? Thank you 🙏
Thank you! 🤩 The supplier of the pearls was a Taiwanese brand called Chainly... but they're wholesale to middle-man distributors only. (I don't think you can buy direct). However any bubble tea middle-man supplier should be offering Grade-A pearls. If they don't... I would second guess the rest of their products...
was a rice cooker used for the cooking? Loved watching your video very useful to help make boba ;)
I searched the comments and I'll copy and paste:
If I recall correctly, it's the Buffalo Commercial Rice Cooker: rice capacity 10 ltr cooked / 4.2 ltr dry. Around £89 online.
Hi, Thank you for the kind comment. 😍
The brand I usually used I think was Buffalo. But if you search for 'Commercial Rice Cooker' you'll find plenty of similar options online.
The size I think was 25-30 cup dry. This means, if you were making rice in it, you'd put 20 cups of rice and fill water all the way to the matching line. (I think)
But I know for sure, mine would comfortably fill with 6-Liters of water up to the '20-line' and then I'd put in 700grams of the uncooked Tapioca Pearls, as seen in the video.
This allowed for plenty of space still at the top for everything to expand and it wouldn't cook over that way.
Hope that helps!
Hi Kristin, I'm in the early stages of starting my Bubble tea business way up here in Powell River, BC, Canada. So great to find a video that explains how to keep the boba throughout the day. For foodsafe purposes what temperature do you hold your boba at throughout the day. I'm thinking the 4 hour industry standard is likely linked to bacteria prevention?? Thank you so much for your advice and I'm sure I'll have more Q's in the near future. All the best. and thank you. I'll be sure to check out your website.
Hi Daniel,
I'm excited for you to start your own shop! I hope it will be a fun experience 😁
The 'industry 4-hours' thing is not only because of potential bacteria growth, but also the boba will either go hard, or become all gooey and gross.
If someone doesn't know, they won't taste the difference... but for the connoisseur and major fans... if you keep the boba too long, you'll hear about it from them via complaints.
Here's a funny story: After I sold my shop, the owner had new staff, etc. I went in once to get a drink and i noticed the boba didn't seem flavored at all with the solution. I politely mentioned to the new owner later about this and they inquired into who was on that day. Come to find out that staff member was putting new cooked boba in with the old cooked boba... and not even changing the solution or adding new! 😩
First off that's not hygienic in this type of scenario, as it was the end of the day so who knows how long the old boba was there for, but second, obviously you're getting delicious new pearls... with old!? And lastly, because there's no new solution, the new boba had no flavor to absorb and tasted plain.😂😂😂
Hope that helps!
@@BubbleTeaKristin Certainly helps and thank you for getting back to me. All the best from Canada.
Hi your video has been so helpful. I’ve been making boba at home and I didn’t know how to flavor the boba until I watched this. Although I have a question, is it ok leave boba in the freezer, if it is how long would it last?
Hello Ray 👋🏼
Happy to receive your comment! Glad my video was helpful for you. 😇
Yes it's absolutely okay to freeze the cooked boba in small ice cubes with water for home use.
I've never done it, but I've heard from many people who do with happy results. 😇
Hi Kristin, I am ready to buy the big rice cooker but there are 2 of the big sizes I found: a 33 cups or a 42 cups rice. Which one are you using on this video or which one do you recommend? Thanks
Hello 👋🏼
I had to look through all the comments to remember the answer 😅
Here is the info:
The brand I usually used I think was Buffalo. But if you search for 'Commercial Rice Cooker' you'll find plenty of similar options online.
The size I think was 25-30 cup dry. (This means, if you were making rice in it, you'd put 20 cups of dry rice.)
But I know for sure, mine would comfortably fill with 6-Liters of water up to the '20-line' and then I'd put in 700grams of the uncooked Tapioca Pearls, as seen in the video.
This allowed for plenty of space still at the top for everything to expand and it wouldn't cook over that way.
Then: 700 grams of boba made approx 20-drinks (give or take)
So if that's enough for you to begin your day, the this is a good size for you.
But my other shop I used the largest one they offer, about double the size, and did a half-a-bag of 3kg boba at a time or more... Giving me 40 drinks worth at a time... In that shop we always sold more boba than other toppings. But the shop in this video boba didn't sell as often.
Hope that helps!😇🤗
@@BubbleTeaKristin thank you so much for this information. I finally found a space for my boba business here in Puerto Vallarta,MX. Hoping to open in September.
Great video! I was wondering after sealing the uncooked boba in an airtight container, where it should be stored. Can I leave it in the freezer or should I leave it outside?
Either is fine. If you're going to be using it the same week, then as you said normal temp is fine. But longer than that definitely freezer. 👍🏻
Hi!
Question! Who do you order your products from? I noticed you said quality matter, so I want to make sure I am using the best ingredients! Thanks!
Hello 👋🏼 Yes - quality does matter. My shops were in the UK and I preferred to use Boba Box UK. They also have an EU branch. I recommend requesting any company's quality reports for the factories to buy from... and the factories themselves should only be in Taiwan or your home country, wherever you're located... Eventually it's good to visit the factories you're buying from too as they should allow for private pre-booked tours. Hope that helps!
Hello Kristin, I'm looking to purchase a rice cooker but seems that all models switch to warm when cook time is finished. How does this affect cooking boba? Thanks.
Hello Hai. 👋🏼
Are you able to source the Buffalo (Commercial size) brand?
Because I used them for 5+ years and never had this issue while cooking the boba. 👍🏼
Love your vids! What size/brand of pot are you using to cook the boba?
Hi, Thank you for the kind comment. 😍
The brand I usually used I think was Buffalo. But if you search for 'Commercial Rice Cooker' you'll find plenty of similar options online.

Hope that helps!
@@BubbleTeaKristin Helped alot! Do you know roughly how many portions this would make?
@@SP3RMonTITS I think it's about 20 drinks worth 😉 Depends alot on how big or small your scoops are.
Thank you for the great info. Question- after you soak the boba in the sugar solution, do you discard the solution after 15 minutes of soaking? If you soak it too long, ie 4 hours, will the boba get mushy?
Hello pixs4family. 🙋🏼♀️ After the cooked tapioca pearls have been cleaned and then soaking in the sweet solution for 15-minutes, they're ready to be consumed. KEEP THEM IN IT! If you take them out, they'll become a giant clump and nobody wants that. 😂 After 4-hours, serve up new boba and new solution. And always add new boba to new solution if adding in a small quantity of new boba to top it up... I always kept new separate from old, and staff served older first and then newer so there's no confusion and the 'old' doesn't get too 'old'. Hopefully this all makes sense. 🤣
@@BubbleTeaKristin Thank you! That makes sense.
Nice vid. Cooked starches change their structure after refrigeration. They are never the same again (tougher). They are even absorbed into your blood steam slower and have a lower glycemic index. A consideration for diabetics and those observing a ketogenic diet.
Interesting information. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏼
Hi Kristin! I have been wanting to put up my own boba shop for quite a while now. I am SOOOO glad I found your channel while researching. I’ll watch all your videos for sure and hopefully I’ll have the courage to start one! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge ♥️♥️♥️♥️ More power to you!!!!

Hey Kristin, can you tell me what pot you are using on your video to cook the boba? Can boba be cooked in a rice cooker?
Hi Yamille,
I am using a rice cooker in this video. 👍🏼
Hello Kristin! Thank you for the tips! And I still have trouble to find the correct tapioca grade A. The one I get it turns out not the correct one, I want the perfect soft and consistency texture. Can you tell me where I can get the one you got for your store ? Thank you I’m advance! I really appreciate you!
Hello 👋🏼 Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear this. Are you ordering from Bubble Tea Suppliers? Or are you only trying Amazon and Chinese Markets? The 5-15 minutes cook type, even the type you make at home from scratch, will definitely be different from the Grade A type which take a long time to cook. They're the traditional ones! Which country are you located? I can try to find a brand for you.
So glad you made this awesome video.
Thank you VERY much.
Regarding your rice cooker to cook boba. Usually a rice cooker automatically switch to warm as soon as it is completed. So I assume you click “cook” for that first 30 mins for water to boil and after it boils, you click “cook” AGAIN to keep it cooking for 30 mins? Am i correct?
Lastly, I store my boba in an air tight container, but for some reason moisture is form on the side of the walls,
Then I try sealing it in a bag then put it in a airtight container, STILL moister now builds up on the seal bag. What am I doing wrong?
Hiya - You're very welcome :) Glad you appreciate the video! 😍
1.) Rice Cooker - so with this HUGE industrial grade one, it doesn't automatically switch to warm. But I do know what you mean, as my small home rice cooker does do that.
The large one for the shops that you see in the video, it will stay on cook, even after the water is boiling. It will only switch to warm if we switch it manually. Not sure why exactly, but it was this way for all the different brands we used/tried out over the years.
2.) I think I understand what you're talking about regarding the uncooked Boba. Basically when you open the bag and you transfer it into a different container, you are getting a lot of humidity?
Can I ask how long you are leaving it in these other containers and what size containers you are using?
If it is a large container you are pouring the uncooked boba into, there will be a greater risk for a lot of condensation. But if you put it all into many smaller containers it is less likely. to have this condensation problem.
The other thing I would do is: inside each giant bag of Boba there is a 'dehumidifier little baggie tablet' type thing. You can save those overtime and then put them into the divided containers and that will prevent any moisture buildup. But just make sure you and your staff remember to remove those dehumidifier tablets before you cook the Boba!
You are an absolutely amazing teacher!! Thank you so much for your fantastic videos :) I just moved to Portugal and would love to give a bubble tea shop a try but can’t seem to find quality boba :( I know you said purchase straight from Taiwan but I keep getting very hard boba that turn into mush when boiled. Would you be able to share your suppliers information by any chance? Of course I will definitely let them know it was you who recommended them :D Hope to hear from you and thank you so much again!
Hi Laurie,
Have you contacted Boba Box EU yet? They supply the very same boba pearls I use in my videos. I bought from them for over 5-years.
They supply premium bubble tea products to both the UK and EU.
If they ship to you (which I'm fairly certain they will) then please feel free to use the code 'REFKRISTIN' for priority service.
You won't have any issues with supply quality buying from them!👍🏼
@@BubbleTeaKristin Thank you so much Kristin!! I will check them out now! You are amazing!! :)
