Bubble tea, also known as Boba milk tea, or Zhennai for short, is a kind of tea beverage that spreads in Taiwan Province. After adding rice balls to milk tea, it becomes bubble tea. Bubble tea is Taiwan Province? Foamed black tea? As a kind of culture, although tapioca rice balls are only added to milk tea, it has become one of the most representative drinks and snacks in Taiwan Province. In fact, the pearls we are talking about are from this milk tea? Pink circle? It is usually made of cassava flour, etc.

Secondly, the composition of pearls:

The main components of pearls are cassava powder or sweet potato powder (potato powder). Cassava powder and sweet potato powder are natural and strong raw materials, which are very sticky. The pearls made will be more transparent and QQ will play. Of course, this cassava powder or sweet potato powder needs water and sugar to increase the taste. Pearls can have many colors. For example, if you put brown sugar into them, they will become brown sugar-colored pearls. Brown sugar is brown sugar pearl; Juices of different colors become pearls of corresponding colors.

Without cassava flour and sweet potato flour, can raw flour be used as pearls?

Let's know the properties of two kinds of starch.

1, color difference, corn starch is darker, cassava starch is white.

2, taste difference, corn starch taste, properties can not be compared with sweet potatoes. Cassava starch is a natural strong raw material, which tastes as soft as sweet potato starch and has a sweet potato flavor.

3, the difference in use, corn starch is suitable for cooking thickening, cassava starch is suitable for making foods that need fine taste, such as pudding cakes or cakes. Cassava starch is highly viscous and can be used as thickener.

After my own personal test, from the color, the pearl made of corn starch is poor in color and opaque; From the comparison of taste, the pearl Q cooked with cassava starch is elastic and chewy. Corn starch is soft, and it feels like chewing a lump of cooked flour. So if you want to eat delicious pearls, you must not use raw powder to make them.

Finally, that bubble tea formula made by cassava starch is attache:

Pearl material: 60g+60g of brown sugar (half for mixing powder and half for boiling pearls), cassava starch 150g, and water 100g.

Milk tea material: 300g of water, red tea 1 bag (in fact, both green tea and black tea can be used), condensed milk 1 spoon, 30g of white sugar, milk 1 box (you can add more if you want a strong milk flavor).

Steps:

1, add water and brown sugar to the pot, bring to a boil, pour cassava starch, stir it into a dough, and move it to the chopping board to knead it into a smooth dough. Then knead it into small pearls;

2. Boil the water in the pot, pour in the pearls and cook for 3 minutes. All of them float and become a little transparent. Take them out and soak them in cold boiled water for 10 minutes, which will make them more Q-bomb (I was lazy in the video tutorial and didn't do this step, but it was later verified that the pearls will be darker and more transparent);

3, 300g of water in the pot, after boiling, put the black tea bag. After the black tea is boiled, put all the pearls, sugar, condensed milk and milk into it and stir well.
