Loved it! Can't get it around here and wanted to try it. Totally addicted to the feeling of the "bubbles"!! I had no trouble finding tapioca. It was in the baking section of my small-town grocery near the pudding. I used Splenda instead of the sugar and I also used Chai. I kept my left over bubbles and hope to use them again tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe...

This drink is just wierd. the tea was too sweet for me and the pearls were chewy. I used chai cause i thought that sounded yummy. I don't about this one. Just weird. All my friends love bubble tea, so i guess I'll have to try the stuff in the coffee shops. Fun to try. ty

I have tried this recipe several times. I found I had to cook my tapioca for much longer. Cook it until the tapioca is clear. Also after the ice is added the tea is a bit watered down. I used less ice the second time to keep the tea a little stronger. The flavor was good but just not strong enough for my taste. I might try it again with chai tea. I am sure that would be very yummy.

Definitely cook the tapioca at least 35-40 minutes. I run a bubble tea shop in Corpus Christi, TX 7314 SPID, and we use Choobees because you don't have to cook them...much easier! No cooking required!!

This recipe works fairly well. However, I would recommend cooking your tapioca pearls for longer... 30 minutes or more. After the said 20 minutes, just watch the pearls until they are cooked to your preference. Also, when storing your pearls, coat them with honey or sugar syrup so they do not stick together. If you want flavoured bubble tea, simply add frozen juice concentrate in the flavour of your choice. Keep adding it tsp at a time until it is flavourful enough. Chocolate syrup is also quite good.
