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
@@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
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👍
I love how I can be watching a Joshua Weissman video, laughing at immature jokes and then be shamed for laughing at immature jokes like 45 seconds later
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 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.
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!
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.
@@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.

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.
@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?
Can I just say…I’ve never had more fun learning how to make something than watching Joshua…literally had me laughing the whole time AND he gives very detailed instructions which was AWESOME
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!
@@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.)
I am thinking about dropping out of school to focus on my career as a star on TH-cam. I already make a lot of money on TH-cam. School bores me so much. I need more opinions and since I don't have any friends, I gotta ask you, sla
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 😂
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😍
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.)
Day 375 of being in Papa’s cabinet Today, he seemed to be nicer than usual. He even brought me boba tea: two different flavors! But when I became too full and couldnt finish the entire thing, Papa became very mad and said “Papa will be very very angry if you dont drink all the boba.”
This tutorial was amazing, I'm researching about foods and drinks from Asia, and this was definitely helpful. I hope to see many videos like this in the near future, keep up the good work ;)
okay this is NOT the first time this happens... Joshua, do you live in my head? Is my life an experiment? Is this youtube channel serving me and me only? Who is giving you access to my thoughts? perfect timing bro
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.
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.
I've never made these before and thought it would be fun to give it a try. After making endless amounts of sweet oobleck for my kids to play with (twice) I discovered that you need to cook the first half of the tapioca flour over low heat until it starts to gel just a little bit. Worked great after that!!! So yummy!!!! :)
I'm so glad you shared this because I just finished round 1 of oobleck in my kitchen 😂 Hopefully round 1 gets me some tendy wendy boba balls instead lol
Sooo true. You originally saved my first batch I made a long time ago as well. You can just cook the whole thing on low for a little while and it will dough up. Thanks for saving my money!
This is the first video I've watched from you, and all I can say is well done my dude. Your transitions are immaculate, just like your food. The cabinet for opening and closing statements is my favorite part btw.
I finally took the time to make this. overall, very good. But I learned a few things about this recipe: 1) the amount of starch is listed in the link, not said in the tutorial 2) if you don't have an extra pair of hands to help you make those pearls, set aside a couple of hours, it's very time-consuming 3) if you're going to cook all those tapioca pearls at one time, use a much bigger pot and don't let them boil without stirring often. I lost about 20% of my pearls at the bottom of the pot, which was a beast to get clean when I was done because I didn't stir (and I knew better, was being optimistic/tired from all the boba pearl rolling) 4) Twinings makes Earl Grey k-cup pods. I didn't know I had bought pods instead of regular tea bags until I opened the box, ready to make my tea (thankfully, I had a tea infuser, so I just poured it in there.) All that said, now knowing what to expect, I will definitely make this again, but I will devote a day simply to making the homemade boba pearls. This recipe makes a fair amount, but I love extra boba in my tea, so while I have all the ingredients/materials out, I may as well make as many as possible. Thanks for posting the recipe. And I enjoyed your presentation. Fun! 🙂
You don't know what you have done. Ever since I saw this video, I have only been making my own boba tea 🍵 . My friend who loves boba always asks me to make it every day . The power is 🔥🔥🔥
Papa swooping in to save the day as I, like a naive little child, just had a tab open with tapioca pearls and boba mix in the cart ready to disrespect the culinary *finesse* and my wallet simultaneously
Idk but as an asian guy, seeing josh making a lot of asian food especially making phở somewhat right way from a few vids before made me really respect this dude more. Imma give you an asian card.
Here’s the thing, today is the first day that I’ve tried boba. I had the original black tea boba drink and a lychee one, both were absolutely amazing. Since I love tartness and floral flavors, the lychee was by far my favorite. And like you mentioned, there are bad and mediocre boba shops out there from what I’ve heard, but thank god that my first experience was awesome. Tender pearls, sweet beverage, etc. Not to mention, but their Takoyaki and yakisoba are to die for.
Cybernetic Josh, year 3022, from his Thicc Papa martian colony: “What is UP today we’ll be hydroponically growing and milling our own brown sugar, sponsored by TeslAgriculture...”
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.
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.
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
When I was living in the Philippines 20+ years ago, before the boba craze, we used to buy the uncooked pearls from the supermarket. Boil them until al dente (by this time the water has reduced), add brown sugar. Add some leaves of pandan. Cook pearls until done. It would smell so nice in our house. Here in the US, you can use vanilla in lieu of pandan.
Joshua making doritos: "You want it fast, just buy some corn tortillas" Also Joshua making bobba: "The idea of being able to controle the the flavor however you want, is the power, POWER!!!"
I feel like bobba will be the next big thing and I'm so ready I've been cooking my own bobba since the beginning of the year and I find that you dont really need to work on the stove or with any heat at all, I get perfectly fine results with just mixing tapioca starch and brown sugar syrup/Fruits (!!!!!) with my hands and if it gets too stiff you can add more water and knead it a bit. Also bonus tip you can also soak your bobba after boiling in honey instead of the brown sugar syrup and it's absolutely amaaziingg!!!!
Papa we failed, please forgive us for we have sinned. We're gonna use storemade boba next time. We spend 5 hours making it and the end result is gonna be a (fun) disaster
I failed three batches as well- used a whole bag of tapioca starch to make oobleck. The issue is after adding 1/2 the tapioca starch to the boiling water/sugar, you need to cook on low long enough to get a shaggy dough started- for me it was more like 30-60 sec instead of 6-8 sec. Then add the second half of the tapioca. Don't cook too long though, if you're seeing transparent bits, you're going too far, get it off the heat asap.
Thanks Joshua. I watched several Boboa tutorials and so far yours is the only one that I can follow along and made boboa that didn't just flake off into dust.
My mans, are you going to make a b-roll playlist showcasing all the food footage at once? And other one of all your lofi and other music tracks you use? You know, so I DONT HAVE TO KEEP FINDING THEM MYSELF?!!! Papa show me the love.

1 cup of tapioca starch/flour total. You can find that in the recipe he provides in the description.

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👍

okay this is NOT the first time this happens... Joshua, do you live in my head? Is my life an experiment? Is this youtube channel serving me and me only? Who is giving you access to my thoughts? perfect timing bro
Same thing happened to me with the gyro episode!
The past 3 episodes have come the day after I eat whatever he makes. It’s scary
me too when he made smores 😹
“Firmly grasp it and get to suckin’” you wild bro 😂
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

I've never made these before and thought it would be fun to give it a try. After making endless amounts of sweet oobleck for my kids to play with (twice) I discovered that you need to cook the first half of the tapioca flour over low heat until it starts to gel just a little bit. Worked great after that!!! So yummy!!!! :)
I'm so glad you shared this because I just finished round 1 of oobleck in my kitchen 😂 Hopefully round 1 gets me some tendy wendy boba balls instead lol
Sooo true. You originally saved my first batch I made a long time ago as well.
You can just cook the whole thing on low for a little while and it will dough up. Thanks for saving my money!
The audacity of this guy to act like he’s above a “nut milk” joke while he’s making “balls”, “rod”, and “suck” jokes the whole dang video.
Haha that's so true

@Leonard Ney 😃
Huh
I finally took the time to make this. overall, very good. But I learned a few things about this recipe: 1) the amount of starch is listed in the link, not said in the tutorial 2) if you don't have an extra pair of hands to help you make those pearls, set aside a couple of hours, it's very time-consuming 3) if you're going to cook all those tapioca pearls at one time, use a much bigger pot and don't let them boil without stirring often. I lost about 20% of my pearls at the bottom of the pot, which was a beast to get clean when I was done because I didn't stir (and I knew better, was being optimistic/tired from all the boba pearl rolling) 4) Twinings makes Earl Grey k-cup pods. I didn't know I had bought pods instead of regular tea bags until I opened the box, ready to make my tea (thankfully, I had a tea infuser, so I just poured it in there.) All that said, now knowing what to expect, I will definitely make this again, but I will devote a day simply to making the homemade boba pearls. This recipe makes a fair amount, but I love extra boba in my tea, so while I have all the ingredients/materials out, I may as well make as many as possible. Thanks for posting the recipe. And I enjoyed your presentation. Fun! 🙂
How much tapioca starch do I use
@@jaclyngolliher5833 1 cup total. Link to recipe is in the description.
Awesome comment, I wish it was more popular because it would have saved me a lot of time.
You don't know what you have done. Ever since I saw this video, I have only been making my own boba tea 🍵 . My friend who loves boba always asks me to make it every day . The power is 🔥🔥🔥

Idk but as an asian guy, seeing josh making a lot of asian food especially making phở somewhat right way from a few vids before made me really respect this dude more. Imma give you an asian card.
you should make a restaurant called "But Better" where you have a menu filled with everything you made better from the show.
call it _Papa's_
@@kisa4748 call it *Papa's* and then have different sections on the menu. One of those sections is "But Better..."
It should be a pop up shop though.
@@yakitatefreak Papa's pop up?
You are a genius! I’d travel from out of state just for the experience. 😎
You can also add food colouring when you're initially cooking the dough on the pan to make it whatever colour you want.
This was the most ENTERTAINING video I've seen ALL day! You were cracking my 11 year old niece and I up! This looks easy enough, thanks for the info.
I love how you say how much a cup is, i’m not from the us, but ALL the recepies are! Thank you!
Here’s the thing, today is the first day that I’ve tried boba. I had the original black tea boba drink and a lychee one, both were absolutely amazing. Since I love tartness and floral flavors, the lychee was by far my favorite. And like you mentioned, there are bad and mediocre boba shops out there from what I’ve heard, but thank god that my first experience was awesome.
Tender pearls, sweet beverage, etc. Not to mention, but their Takoyaki and yakisoba are to die for.
Just wondering (if you made this recipe) Does this make only make a drink for 1 person or 2 people

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.
Joshua: makes ball jokes the entire video
Also Joshua: yes haha nut milk very funny 🙄
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
Love the fact that you're teaching us how to make something that may be considered complex. Looking forward to learning
When I was living in the Philippines 20+ years ago, before the boba craze, we used to buy the uncooked pearls from the supermarket. Boil them until al dente (by this time the water has reduced), add brown sugar. Add some leaves of pandan. Cook pearls until done. It would smell so nice in our house. Here in the US, you can use vanilla in lieu of pandan.
My favourite part was when he told us how much tapioca starch we need ❤️
did he every say or did i completely miss it?

Tapioca it's so versatile, y'all need to start doing more with it. I'm brazilian and we make tons of things with it.
I love this thank you. First video I've seen by you and instant sub, The editing is peak and your vibes immaculate.
I feel like bobba will be the next big thing and I'm so ready I've been cooking my own bobba since the beginning of the year and I find that you dont really need to work on the stove or with any heat at all, I get perfectly fine results with just mixing tapioca starch and brown sugar syrup/Fruits (!!!!!) with my hands and if it gets too stiff you can add more water and knead it a bit. Also bonus tip you can also soak your bobba after boiling in honey instead of the brown sugar syrup and it's absolutely amaaziingg!!!!
the “as usual, those balls will shrink a little when they cool” joke is going to go missed on half of the population lol
Beautiful joke if you tell me

Papa we failed, please forgive us for we have sinned. We're gonna use storemade boba next time. We spend 5 hours making it and the end result is gonna be a (fun) disaster
I failed three batches as well- used a whole bag of tapioca starch to make oobleck. The issue is after adding 1/2 the tapioca starch to the boiling water/sugar, you need to cook on low long enough to get a shaggy dough started- for me it was more like 30-60 sec instead of 6-8 sec. Then add the second half of the tapioca. Don't cook too long though, if you're seeing transparent bits, you're going too far, get it off the heat asap.
