BROWN SUGAR BOBA (BUBBLE TEA): Boba (or bubble tea) is an Asian milk tea drink, elevated by the addition of tapioca pearls (the "bubbles"). The drink has gained a cult following in Taiwan and its surrounding countries, and also in Asian communities in the U.S. But if you're tired of the queues caused by the recent boba craze, you can make your own at home! The tapioca pearls in a typical boba are made of just three ingredientstapioca starch, sugar, and water. It starts off as a dough, which then gets portioned and rolled into little balls. This sounds easy enough, but tapioca starch has this really sticky quality, which gives the pearls their characteristic chewiness, but it also means that a bit too much moisture in the tapioca dough will make it stick to any surface it touches, becoming nearly impossible to work with.The secret is to find the perfect ratio, which requires more tapioca starch than most recipes would call for. (Working in grams instead of cups is important to get the right consistency for the dough.) This results in a much more amicable dough, which makes rolling it out into little pearls a breeze.MORE FROM THIS VIDEO: Get the full recipe on Food52.com here: https://f52.co/3FBX72TPRODUCTS FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO:Handmade Colored Glass Straws: https://f52.co/3ngDFmbde Buyer Stainless Steel Strainer: https://f52.co/3lIYmqiMORE FROM FOOD52: Subscribe here to our YouTube Channel! https://f52.co/2HN7Dp8GET MORE OF FOOD52 BY CONNECTING BELOW: Website: https://food52.comOur Shop: https://food52.com/shop Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/food52Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Food52Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/food52Twitter: https://twitter.com/Food52TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@food52Food52 newsletter: https://f52.co/newsletterRELATED VIDEOS: The Ballzooka Cocktail: https://f52.co/41WfUzHMagic Cookie Bars Recipe: https://f52.co/3YRwL41People Try Boba For The First Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5IlK8y-_go
