The Art of Making Boba Tea
Creating the perfect boba tea is both a science and an art. From brewing the perfect tea base to cooking the tapioca pearls to just the right consistency, each step requires attention to detail.
Brewing the Tea: The tea is brewed at double strength since it will be diluted with milk and ice later.
Cooking the Pearls: Tapioca pearls are cooked until soft and chewy, then soaked in sugar syrup.
The Perfect Shake: The tea is vigorously shaken with ice to create that signature frothy texture.
