COCONUT BUBBLE TEA (HOMEMADE BOBA RECIPE) - Guide Recipe
Ever wonder how to make boba (bubble tea) at home? This recipe shows you how to make boba with coconut and vanilla flavors using home-cooked tapioca pearls! You don’t need many supplies nor ingredients to end up with this very refreshing drink.
It’s summer and we need more light drinks like this. Since living in Boston , I have noticed the sad state of affairs when it comes to boba here (or bubble tea , depending on the region you hail from). I’ve had boba that ranges from so-cloyingly-sweet-that-I-need-to-dump-this-out-immediately to tapioca-pearls-are-hard-in-the-center-and-therefore-inedible to this-is-just-okay. I’ve even been in tea shops that only serve boba during certain months of the year. It’s a lot different than growing up in L.A. where I was able to get consistently excellent boba pretty much everywhere.
