STEP 2: Store the Syrup for Later Use

Put the syrup in a container for later use.

Caution: be careful the hotness of the syrup.

Note: the syrup should be in a liquid status right now, however, the longer you store it, the thicker it gets. It is very normal.

STEP 4: Cool Off the Tapioca Pearls

Put the cooked Tapioca pearls into a bowl to cool off.

Caution: this step can be dangerous, be careful with the steam and the hot water dropping from the pot.

Note: If you want to store the leftover Tapioca pearls for later use, mix some brown sugar into some water in a bowl and put the Tapioca pearls in it.

now i can make bubble tea. yes!

[babygirlxoxoxo]

love it

[prickly vegan]

yes, so be sure to use a store-bought mix and put everything in plastic!
Because it's not bubble tea unless it tastes like artificial flavours and gets a good leaching from the chemicals in the plastic straw and cup. Not to mention that lovely pile of trash you create afterward. Hey, if it tastes good, whatever!

Woah this is pretty silly... There's no point to this since you need "bubble tea mix". Imagine a pancake recipe with "Pancake mix" in it.

Any why make your own syrup when it's widely available in any store?

Bubble tea mix however, is not widely available. A useful tutorial would have taught us how to do it without "mix". How this got to be featured in the email is beyond me.

Agree with you JohnS4......if i need to buy bubble tea mix...why i am not buying bubble tea from any center.....

[dillonsparks]

[marencai]

There are many posts on this site that start with pre-ready mix. That is not the point of the site.

[Overcon]

I agree with JohnS4. Modify it to include making it without the mix.

Re: "bubble tea mix" - all it is is flavour powder - you can choose from MANY different ones. I like to use fruit juices, herb teas, ice tea, kool aid, or chocolate/strawberry syrup. Experiment with stuff you find around the kitchen. It's more fun.

The rest of the instructable is very good
