Mini-Bubble Tea 'Mocktail'

Mini-Bubble Tea \

In this instructable, I will go through the method of making mini-bubbles. Accompanying the exact instructions, I will give you  a range of possibilities, as every type of tapioca must cook slightly differently. Tapioca is pretty sensitive to pressure changes and other stuff, so I will always give you a range.

This is really very yummy, and can cost up to 5 dollars per tea in stores!!!! This is far cheaper, with about 1 drink costing about $1.50!

The inspiration for this instructable is that in a small town, the odds of having a bubble tea shop are low, and for those who enjoy it can have it more often than every month or so!


* This recipe scales up, I recently made like 30 servings along the same guideline.

What is the size of the tapioca balls before you prepare them?
Cause we have something similar here and I was wondering if it's the correct size

Thanks for the very explicit directions on making the tapioca bubbles. I bought some, followed the box directions (sorta), and ended up with hard centers.

Now I'm encouraged to go try it again!
