Perfect Boba Tea Completely from Scratch (2 Ways)

- We aren't just making the flavored milk tea... When I say homemade, I mean everything. From the fresh brewed milk tea all the way down to the brown sugar syrup and the homemade tapioca pearls, also known as boba pearls!

"Your balls will shrink as they cool"
Papa, at this rate, we don’t need to eat out at all...😂😂
I think thats the point......😉
true
@@joegrone9671 I am wondering if owning a farm is the next goal🤣🤣🤣
You guys eat out? 😳
Well.....
As a local Taiwanese, I'm impressed that not only you did the homework about how to do the boba itself and the tea, but also you know about how Taiwan is promoting using stainless straws for boba milk tea and banned plastic straws.
Proud to see my Taiwanese culture is authentically represented by your channel.
@Angela Bisceglia he was commenting because Boba started in. Can we guess TAiwan
@KuKu Kuuuma
Not sure about Taiwan, or your Taiwanese culture, but Taiwan is not making a great impression for me. My boba went horribly wrong and I realised it was all because of the 'Tapioca Starch' I bought, I searched the Chinese Character on the bag and it says Gorgon Powder instead of the big, bold "TAPIOCA POWDER" printed on the packet.
It was, obiviously imported from Taiwan and I'm just wondering, is this Taiwanese Factory is making this printing error on purpose to make customers buy it? Or they are just so bad at english that they couldn't have double checked if the english imprinting on it were wrong or not?
And I swear, this is not the first time something like this have happened to me. The Taiwanese factories have a grudge against english or something, cuz they are always deceiving us consumers.
And also, through out the whole video he said nothing about Taiwan, his idea of using stainless straws are purely his kind act towards the envirnment. Are all Taiwaness this self-entitled, and so eager to relate every good act with Taiwan?
I don't mean to offend anyone, so please no Taiwan nationalist come attack me🤣
Lastly, a genuine question, is Taiwan an independent country? If so, how did they become one?
@@SnowyRoses520 lol You're pretty obvious a troll here. Well, if you already feel that way, let's just keep it that way, xoxo😘
@Angela Bisceglia you can bring your own cup for boba drinks in Taiwan, they'll take it
@@SnowyRoses520s a Hongkonger I feel offended for the Taiwanese.
Thanks for the awesome video! I've made both the Earl Grey and the Matcha now.
Some tips for viewers:
1 cup of tapioca starch/flour total. You can find that in the recipe he provides in the description.
I just add it all at once slowly after I bring the heat down and it seems to do the same for me.
Tapioca starch is the same as tapioca flour.
The syrup is great without the molasses if you don't have it.
If you get oobleck when you should have dough and it all seems hopeless, put it back in and cook it on low heat for a little while. It'll lose the oobleck quality and become more of a dough after a little while.
If it is crazy sticky and you think you've added enough tapioca, add a bunch more tapioca and you will be surprised that it will become better. I mean a bunch.
If you have a lumpy mess, you added the starch too fast without mixing well or you had it too hot. Just try again.
Take his advice and reheat the dough when it seems to not be rolling well. I dip my hands in a little water too while rolling and that helps also. + His advice on using ice cubes really makes a difference.
Definitely give yourself some time to do this. It has taken me consistently over 2 hours each time and it makes a pretty good mess.
Also be forgiving if your balls don't look perfect or seem a little cracked. Mine still boiled and became boba just fine.
Have a great day👍
thanks girly❤

this helped lots
you're awesome. thank you so much ❤❤

“if you want to go to a boba tea shop, that’s fiiine. but if you make it yourself you have complete control.”
me who works at a boba shop: 🤠
Can you tell us what it’s like? Do you make the boba in the shop? What would you change for adding to or subtracting from this recipe? Best macha to buy?
@@thunderofgr they have premade pearls usually you can buy tapioca pearls at your local asian market probably
@@thunderofgr Like Nick Cherry said, most of the pearls are premade. I work at a place that doesn't specifically specialize in Boba, but we do serve it. We make our honey syrup daily, but the pearls come from a container. We just boil them and toss them into the syrup.
You are all powerful now! :O
@@imperialspence5106 we do the same at my shop hence why it's called honey boba lol
Me and my sister have tried this recipe, since the video can out and its still our go to boba recipe. We occasionally try new drinks such as taro and mango, it works with everything. Absolutely amazing video Joshua keep it up!
How do you do it with taro? These and coffee are the most intuitive boba teas to make at home but I like taro and lychee boba when I go out
This took a very long time, but it definitely works! And tastes amazing! Thank you so much for the easy to follow recipe!
I Forget so many people watch u and don’t make any of the recipes but let me just say this man has never failed me in the kitchen. No mediocre shit either
I did try his mcrib recipe and deboning the rack was super hard, other than that the recipe was on point
@@Insane_Kane Yeah for me most his recipes are really on point, i have tried quite a few, the only one that really failed me was his Burger Bun recipe and i still don´t know what went wrong
I did try his brownie and it's fantastic. My brother love it too!
I did his crab Rangoon. Just next level, cannot recommend enough
Every now and then i make the cinnamon rolls because they’re the best thing I’ve ever had
“As usual, Those balls will shrink a little as they cool”. So understated. So comedic. Papa make me laugh.

Ah i finally realised

This is by far the best channel on TH-cam year after year. Joshua does NOT disappoint!
gonna use this recipe for my Ayato summoning ritual
Note to anyone here: milk tea is traditionally made with milk added to the tea, which is the temperature you prefer, then shaken/stirred, and this is going to give you a lot more tea flavor as well as flexibility on how much flavor you want. Infusing tea into hot milk may sound like a good idea, but in actuality, heating the milk hot enough to infuse any flavor from the lose leaf tea is going to be too hot and end up scalding your milk, giving it an undesirable cooked flavor rather than a nice and fresh cream flavor. Also, trying to use loose leaf tea in milk is just not going to extract much flavor due to the milk being heavy, and again, you want whatever liquid being used to be hot to extract the most flavor, but you don't want to be keeping your milk at such high temperatures for so long.
thx!! :D
can you share the best way to brew milk tea? i always find that mine ends up too watery when i add the milk in later
@@ayesha9792 watery as in texture wise? Or watery as in flavour wise? For texture, just add more milk, for taste, leave the tea bag in the boiling water a little longer. NEVER make tea with cold water, always use boiling water, put it in a container and put it in the fridge, preferably before you add the milk.
i just put ice in my boba.
thanks for the tip I appreciate it!
"THAT TASTES EXACTLY LIKE BOBA TEA!" I honestly would have never guessed. Thank you for that flavor spank.
Ah yes, the floor is made up of floor .
@@OurCumrade amoung us
thanks for this video man. I followed your instructions to a tee and they came out perfect. I had tried to follow another video but sadly their measurements confused me a bit as they were saying things like "use less then a tablespoon" and I got fed up and came here to find that you listed precise amounts, both in the cups and ml/grams and I appreciated that so much 😂
CAUTION: I tried this recipe twice and every time the dough is too dry and brittle. I suggest adding 20-30ml more water. Then it becomes more malleable and easy to work with. If not for the added water, it just falls apart into a crumb fest.
Then I added too much water and it would quickly turn into a puddle
It could be the brand of starch you're using, cause I followed your instructions and got a sticky mess that took lots of flour to fix.
Yeah the amount of water you need will vary depending on what brand of starch you're using ^^
When I make boba I usually start off with a small amount of boiling water, then add splashes of boiling water until the dough becomes workable and a bit like playdoh in texture.
@BORIS Zafirov
As with any dough, the amount of water-to-flour ratio will depend on many factors, including the temperature of the room and the humidity of the room. So toss your caution - Joshua did just fine. Perhaps he could've mentioned that you may need to add a little more flour or a little more water, yes, but _for him on that day,_ that was the right recipe.
how much does he mean by half of our powder because I did 1/2 and then 1/2 and just ended up with too much
papa i tried this and just made brown sugar oobleck
Same
That happened to me on my first try!
What helped me was making sure my sugar/water mixture was boiling for a bit before adding the tapioca starch!
@@em-fm6ou I tried it again and it worked perfectly, best I’ve ever had
@@em-fm6ou how long did you let it boil?

I love Joshua making all kinds of food his ways and he does everything on point
Yes! Homemade is sooooo much better! Thank you Joshua!
My best friend and I tried this, and we accidentally misread the directions and added ALL the brown sugar syrup to our drinks........ They were too sweet to drink but we had so much fun we're gonna do it again!
do you have any tips for making it that wasn’t mentioned already ? i wanna try but scared i’ll fuck up and i hate wasting ingredients.
@@theaitokyo kinda late, but infuse the tea into water first! Has more flexibility as you get to decide how strong you want your tea. Plus, the tea isn’t going to infuse into the milk too much as you need hot liquids for infusion and heating milk to high temps is just 😐. Perhaps a 1:2 ratio of tea to milk would be good ig.
Also please try to use loose tea if you can, instead of the tea bags, trust me it has better flavor. (And of course, remember to strain the loose tea)
(Please note, I haven’t ever made bubble tea, but I have made milk tea on occasions and it’s turned out pretty good)
Let me know if you try making it! Hope you have fun:)
@Ruby Walker You could've saved your too-sweet drinks by simply adding more milk and more boba. Could then share with a couple friends or leave them in the fridge for later/tomorrow. Just a thought! (There is usually a way to save a ruined dish - except for burning it , which there is no fixing that.)
Youre going to do it again with brown sugar syrup , I assume
Just dilute it bro

Hmmm, yum. Made the matcha and brown sugar syrup boba today and my family loved it. I didn't make the boba pearls from scratch as I didn't have tapioca flour on hand but I did have tapioca pearls that just required cooking. Also added some cream to the milk to make it extra deliciosa 👌. So good.

For anyone who wants a more simple approach, I used tea bags from Trader Joe’s. I steeped two earl grey tea bags (I only used a little water) to make a concentrate and then I added oat milk, blue agave and the tapioca in a glass together. I never thought about cooking the milk with the tea leaves in it! That sounds good too😍
variation on a theme is combine above with raw ground green coffee with blue berries.
can't you just rip out the tea from the tea bags and put it in the milk?
also if you dont want to use the stove ive seen people just use the microwave for making the pearls
also if you for some reason dont know how big half an inch actually is most of the time (me) you can pull and make the pearls off the dough ball itself
idk if thats easier or harder tho
Really? I didn't realize that tea bags were a thing till I was like 8 or 9 even though tea has been a part of my life longer than I can remember because my family has always used loose tea.
@Shaun Archer Please see the above comment by @J who explains why you shouldn't steep the tea in the milk. (I agree. Tea doesn't give off its flavor the way that Joshua did it. Hence the color of his first drink - pale white with some color from the brown sugar syrup.)

If you want to save money and time just buy the pearls pre made.
I've made this recipe twice and the its really more of a fun thing to do rather than a money/time saver.
Each time I've made this it takes well over two hours and makes a good mess. Plus tapioca starch/flour really isn't cheap.
@@nathanielbrown8730 Yes, you're definitely right about the time saving aspect. It's just very slightly cheaper to make your own. In my area any import is expensive, so making your own would save a bit, but not by a lot.

As a Taiwanese, by just watching the first 20 sec I can tell that this could be even better than some boba milk tea sold in Taiwan, great job Josh!
This is quite different from the original Taiwanese milk tea, though. Infusing tea into hot milk is a Japanese or Indian method. It has a cooked milk flavor that is not present in Taiwanese milk tea.
Earl Grey is also very much not a traditional choice. The added bergamot flavoring may distract from the tea or milk. Using unadulterated Assam or Ceylon would yield a more classic milk tea.

Hey papa, would we ever get a series “but quicker” where you make things that normally take ages to make but in like 30 mins. It’s exam season and I want to eat well but time is of the essence
Normally things that really take a long time, can´t be made faster at least not without extrem loss in quality.
I think the series is a good idea but maybe with recipes that take like 30 mins by default.
that'd be a cool series! I think Emma's Goodies has some recipes like that; like making cinnamon rolls that can be cooked in a microwave.
There's a lot of things you can prep in advance and whenever you feel like you want to eat them you just take out from the fridge, reheat then assembly it,and you can have your own quick and decent meal, imagination is the only thing limited yourself
Things like stew and braised item you can make a big batch , portion it, then store inside your freezer, whenever you want to eat, just pop it into the microwave,you still getting the same result as fresh one,or even better since those slow cook item will further develop their flavour after you Cook them
It all about time management
