Actually, any person who has had the chance to try this cold milky tea drink with gummy spheres will bear witness to the fact that it is worth spending your money on. But how much do you know regarding this Asian dessert-like beverage. In this post, we will take you through some of the things you probably do not know about bubble tea. Read on and find out more.
What is Bubble Tea?
First things first, you need to know what this dessert-like beverage entails before you get to enjoy it. After all, most if not all of us cannot try something without having a clear idea of how it is prepared. To cut the long story short, bubble tea is a tea-based drink that has its roots in Taiwan. This drink gets its name from the frothy bubbles that form after shaking to mix the tea, milk and flavorings. However, times have changed and hence it should not come as a surprise when you order Gongcha bubble tea only for it to come with bubble-like tapioca pears in the bottom of the drink.
How to Drink Bubble Tea
If you want to take bubble tea the traditional way, then you only have to shake it over ice with either a non-dairy creamer or milk. You will also have to add sweeteners to taste. However, people keep on experimenting different ways with some using flavored syrups or fruit juices in their bubble tea. So, before you try Koi bubble tea, you need to be familiar with the different flavors you can try out. Some of the most notable bubble tea flavors include jasmine milk tea, honeydew milk tea, and green tea to mention a few.
