@@mybuddyroland4968 A Bubble Tea Shop Supplier. They are located all around the world, or direct from Taiwan.
(Or sometimes local Asian markets have the long cook type too in a smaller quantity.) 👍🏼
@@BubbleTeaKristin ok
@@BubbleTeaKristin thanks btw
@@mybuddyroland4968 My shops were in the UK so I enjoyed using the brand 'Boba Box UK', but there are so many different suppliers out there and each one is slightly different. Never hurts to try as many bobas as possible before you commit. 🤣
The most detailed instructions ever. I felt like a child in elementary school. Great teacher
Glad it was helpful!
You are a natural born teacher! I have a coffee business and am excited to start serving boba. Thanks for teaching me! I had no idea so much went into making boba!
Aw Jenna, That's so kind of you to say! I really appreciate the positive feedback 🤩😁
I wish you all the best in adding boba to your menu! 🧋🧋🧋
THANK YOU for explaining the importance of using high quality boba vs. quick book. It makes a WORLD of a difference!!
YAY!!! So happy you appreciate the fact! 😂
Thanks for your comment 😍
Stumbled across this channel learning about boba and now I know about all about boba in 2 videos, thanks much!!
Awesome 😎 Glad to hear! Thanks for the positive feedback and I hope you have massive Boba success! 🧋💯
You’re a really good teacher, Kristin! You explain things so clearly!

@@heatherm2621 thank you 😇
@@touma687 aw thanks 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much for all of the information. I've been a Chef, F&B guy for decades and now I decided to open a Boba Cafe in Chicago. All I know is Food but your videos have been invaluable in educating me about Boba Tea!
Aw wow that's fab!!! You're very welcome. Thank you for the kind compliment. I'm happy you appreciate my video and in-depth explanations. I always think it's easier to dive deeper if you understand the simple reasoning behind it. Hopefully my videos will continue to be helpful! All the best to you in your journey! 😊😊😊🧋🧋🧋
You are a natural and I really appreciate how thorough you explained the entire process. Thank you so much!!!
Hello Gina 👋🏼 You're very welcome! Glad you found value in the video and explanation. 😇 And thank you for your support of my channel. 😍🧋❤️ All the best to you and your journey!
It’s been a month since I’ve had a grand opening on my small boba shop but I’m back to say that I’m so thankful to find your page! I’ve watched several videos that were such a big help with running my business. This technique to make boba is amazing, it NEVER fails! My boba always comes out perfect and it’s thanks to you, a million times! ❤
This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing and the kind compliment/comment! All the best to you in your Boba journey! 😇🧋
Best recipe/advice channel for small businesses - would be good to chat! Based in London
Hit me up!
I love your videos!! We've opened up our own shop here in Germany and so glad we've discovered your channel! Lots of trial and error on our end, happy to see a fellow professional and boba lover teaching! Very clear and direct presentation, love your energy :)
Hey! Thanks so much for reaching out 🙂
I'm so happy for you to open your own shop
❤️
When I started mine over 5-years ago, there were NO resources on TH-cam or even online. So I feel it's my part of giving back to others who definitely need it.
If we can all serve delicious bubble tea, it will become more loved by all, and in return more people will buy it which means higher profits for shop owners around the world 🧋😻
I totally understand trial and error... It's a monthly fun game really in creating new drinks! But if you like the end results, and your customers like it, that what matters most 😇
All the best to you!!!🥰
Hi kaina.. hope everything went well with your new shop. I’m thinking of doing the same but in Egypt! Do you mind sharing some pointers on your shop opening experience? Things you glad you did, things you wish you did differently
Your TH-cam channel is helping me to learn a lot about boba tea. My own shop is going to grand opening at the end of November. I can’t wait, so excited
Yay! Thank you kindly 😊 I wish you all the best with your shop! 🙏🏼 Welcome to the channel.

i love how you enjoy teaching us, good content i might try this
That's very kind. Thank you and you're welcome 🤗. All the best to you!
My home made boba pearls always end up getting hard after my first use shortly after cooking. Now I know why. I've been using the 5 minute quick boba balls, no wonder they get so chewy!! 😩😩😩😩 You're a life saver. Definitely will try out the longer cooking one.
Oh wow! Glad to be of assistance. 😊 Thanks for the comment. 🥰
I like how you mentioned keeping a drip loop between the cooker and outlet.
Glad you enjoyed the tip! ☺️
I’m watching it now because I will cook for our business! Thank you for the information!
You are so welcome! Good Luck 🤞🏼😃
I have been looking and looking for a video that shows how to keep the Boba fresh for serving to customers. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your good details teaching tutorial. I always use pressure cooker it is faster. Have a nice day.
Hello 👋🏼
Wow. I've heard of this method but never met anyone who uses it successfully.
Please feel free to share with this community your measurements and timings for the machine 👋🏼
Thank you for sharing your insight, I actually cooked my bobas the way you explained (15 min, stir, 15 min, rest 15 min) it was on the stove but I have never had such perfect texture. I was sure my bobas were bad quality, turns out my cooking was at fault 😅 thank you again !
OMG! That's such great news! (The part about my recipe working for you! 😅)
Thanks for sharing 😊🙏🏼🧋🥰
Iam here!!! All i can say is thanks for what have you done 😊😊😊
Yay! You're welcome 😁
Kristin, can you do a video of how to set up for an event? How do you store ice at a day market (would buying bag ice and storing in a plastic cooler okay and just scooping it out to serve), how to set up with just one table at a day market etc
I've made a note for part of a future video idea.
But yes, you can easily store ice in coolers. This is done all the time by street vendors in places like Thailand.
You'll just use a different type of ice than square... More like pellets is easier for this, and just pour the drink over the ice in the cup.
No need for a sealing machine in this case, just a simple lid with a hole and straw, or even a sipper lid if no toppings.
Hope that makes sense. 👍🏻
@@BubbleTeaKristin Wow! Thank you so much for responding! I wasn't sure what to do. I'd love that future video and I'm sure others will too, I love your tip about using a rice cooker for the tapioca.
Please do that video, tell us how many hours you'd recommend getting there to set up, and would you make large batches of milk tea on-site if its a far destination and serve them out of beverage dispensers...stuff like that geared towards someone who doesn't have a physical store
you are so thorough with your teachings! i never realized all the steps for making boba! paying $6 for boba tea is well worth it!
Ah! Thanks so much 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love your video, your explanation is clear and your bubbly personality as well as your beauty makes the whole thing very enjoyable. I am considering opening a Boba store here in the US so I really appreciate all your advice and knowledge.
You are so welcome, Maurice! And thank you for the kind compliments 🥰 Good luck to you and your future success! 🎉💯💪🏼🧋
Thanks. Ur idea about milk instead of water was a good idea! 😊
😇
This video is great. Helpful to me. Thanks Kristin.
Waiting for more useful content.
Yay! Happy to hear this 🤗 Every weekend new videos 🙏🏼
Kristin, I absolutely LOVE your videos, and energy!! I have two questions for you please. What is your favorite US boba and boba shop essentials supplier? What package of yours would you recommend for me as I am in the process of opening up a café with hot tea, bubble tea, coffee and crepes in the US? Thank you so very much!
Hi Dominika,
You're so kind. Thank you. 😇😁
I'm able to create a bespoke equipment list for my clients depending on what sort of recipes and drinks they are serving, however in the US there isn't one supplier that I found to be perfect for everything. But my clients have given me feedback from different ones they've used which I share privately.
Feel free to email me through my website and we can set up a free 15 minute voice consultation call, which I offered to all prospective clients. This helps both of us to know if or what areas you might be needing help with and where I can be of assistance.
Thank you 😊
I love your cooking method. What a easy way and delicious. Thank you for sharing. ♥️♥️♥️
You're welcome 🤗🧋
Thank you I really enjoyed watching your videos really appreciable the way you explain tiny bits ❤
You are good tutor for the Bigenners like me😊
Thanks so much 😊 Glad you're finding it all so helpful.
Thank you so much, Kristin! Your videos with detailed instructions are just great! Please, if possible, could you share the brand/shop where you are ordering boba pearls?
Hi - I'm located in the UK - and the main supplier over here is 'Boba Box'. They also ship to Europe. If you're outside of these, you may need to contact them via their website for possible delivery info.
*I am not sponsored by them, but I happily used their products in my shop for over 5-years.
Hope that helps!
Wow, just found this video and it's very informative. Thank you so much
You are so welcome! 😇
Thanks dear...Very interesting and inspiring video....🥰👍
My pleasure 😊
Very informative video.
I own a restaurant in India and I want to introduce boba as it is trending in our country. Can we keep the cooked boba in a rice cooker at warm mode ?
Yes. I cover this towards the end of the video. I give details about how and for how long. Good luck! 👍🏻😎 Thank you for your comment!
Thank you for being helpful to this, very informative video. I'm planning to start Boba Milk business. God Bless you & more power.
Hi Joyce,
Thank you for your kind compliment and comments. So happy to hear my videos have been helpful to you. I wish you all the best with your business! 😇🧋😍
I’ve been struggling with cooking boba at home and it turning out too hard. This video was the most descriptive I’ve found in two weeks, thank you for what you’re doing for the boba community if I can call it that haha
I use a pot of water on the stovetop and worry that the differences in method will effect the outcome of trying your instructions at home, what would you say is the, or some of the biggest causes of boba that just doesn’t have the softness that we all know and love ?
Hi Benny,
Have you seen my other videos on how to cook boba at home?!
I have one video for black pearls and one for the white pearls.
Hope that helps! 👍🏼👍🏼
(You can find them through my channel &/or playlists)
It might be your boba brand? The first brand I bought was cheap and never got soft enough. Then I found out, if your uncooked boba doesn't crumble when you squish it between your fingers, it isn't a good brand.
excelente video, muchas gracias por compartir tus recetas y experiencias
Hello 👋🏼 You're welcome! Thank you for the kind comment 😊 🧋
Thank you for the great info. Question- after you soak the boba in the sugar solution, do you discard the solution after 15 minutes of soaking? If you soak it too long, ie 4 hours, will the boba get mushy?
Hello pixs4family. 🙋🏼♀️ After the cooked tapioca pearls have been cleaned and then soaking in the sweet solution for 15-minutes, they're ready to be consumed. KEEP THEM IN IT! If you take them out, they'll become a giant clump and nobody wants that. 😂 After 4-hours, serve up new boba and new solution. And always add new boba to new solution if adding in a small quantity of new boba to top it up... I always kept new separate from old, and staff served older first and then newer so there's no confusion and the 'old' doesn't get too 'old'. Hopefully this all makes sense. 🤣
@@BubbleTeaKristin Thank you! That makes sense.
Really good job in your method!!! As a Taiwanese immigrant in Canada, not everyone makes Boba as well as you describe. Not everyone uses Taiwanese products. The Taiwanese one uses starch from the Cassava plant (sago) instead of tapioca which is used in China. Tapioca pearls are transparent and much cheaper in cost. Boba pearls in Thailand are made from Cassava (sago) as well, as it has a subtle earthy flavour that is not present at all in Tapioca pearls made from Tapioca starch. Cheers.
Thanks for watching 😎🧋
I have been working in Chinese bubble tea shop since 4 years

Hey Daine, That's great! You're very welcome! Here's some more instructional video for boba shops owners: ~Boba Shop Instructional Basic Recipes~ by Bubble Tea Kristin: th-cam.com/play/PLK7g_t77IW0KE9rS06xTcHRWRh4EgBKVT.html
Nice vid. Cooked starches change their structure after refrigeration. They are never the same again (tougher). They are even absorbed into your blood steam slower and have a lower glycemic index. A consideration for diabetics and those observing a ketogenic diet.
Interesting information. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing very detailed I enjoy watching you, new subscribers here
Thanks for subbing! 🧋
And You're welcome 😇
Hey Kristin! This video was extremely helpful for what I'm trying to pursue. Do you do pop up events at farmers markets or night markets? It would be awesome to see you post a video going through the preparation process.
Hello Cyril,
Yes I did events and popups. Everything is the same, but at least one day (or more) of prep for everything 😅 Just do everything at a larger scale, keep it refrigerated, etc...
Boba is tricky. Ideally needs to be made on site, numerous boba cookers, one staff just dedicated to making boba at large events. 😅 Small events it can be made in advance and kept warm.
I sold all my shops and businesses now so I don't foresee myself making a video about it all any time soon, but perhaps I can tag along with one of my clients in the future and release that as a video.😉😇
Good luck!!!
brilliant ideas kristin

I used Boba Box UK for my shops and really enjoyed the product. 👍🏼
Hi Kristin, Great videos and great instructions! Impressive! A question for you. Typical boba cooking instructions say to cook for ~30 mins with lid off and sit for ~40 mins lid on depending on brand and size of boba. Your method is very different. 30mins with lid on and only 15mins lid on. What are your thoughts not the "standard" instructions?
Hello. 👋🏼 Thank you for your comment and I'm happy you're enjoying all the videos 😊
Honestly, every boba shop owner I speak to cooks their boba differently.
This video is just my technique that works well for my shops and customers always give raving reviews.
Each manufacturers raw tapioca usually needs to be cooked differently as well. And size has something to do with it too.
I advise potential shop owners to decide which brand they want to carry, and then do side by side cooking comparison taste tests with that product.
You might find that letting it sit after longer works better, or letting it cook for longer. But there's no one way to do it. Whatever works best for you and gives the desired results is what matters most.
Hope that helps 😇
Hi! You show storing the cooked boba in a rice cooker during the day and warming for 5-10 mins every 1.5-2 hours.
I'm going to offer tapioca pearls as a topping in my frozen yogurt shop. Should I only put as much out in the toppings bar that will be used within 2 hours? And then refill from the rice cooker? Thanks!
Hi Jennifer.
I think I understand your concept. Basically you have a froyo shop, and there is a toppings bar that customers can help themselves to after they got their soft serve? I just want to make sure you're not putting the cooked boba into a refrigerated section of it... (some use fruits and are kept cold from underneath).
If it's room temp type toppings, then yes, just put it in a smaller size gastro-norm pan, enough for a handful of people to help themselves at a time... and top it up throughout the day. Because as it sits there, it will become cold and hard.
Sounds like a fun idea!
If it becomes so popular you can't keep it topped up, then I would option for a small 'soup' holder. it's a very low temp warmer to keep soup in. They come in all shapes and sizes. Just put a picture of the cooked boba on the outside so people know what's inside. Also, opt for a heavier brown sugar solution. Thicker ratio of the brown sugar to water... this is currently most popular for these kids today. 😂😂😂 You can find images on social for what I'm talking about - right up you alley 👍🏼.
Thank you so much for helpful information. Can you tell me what is the size of your hot water boiler? What would you recommend for a big 10,000 outdoor event as a tent vendor? How do you make sure you have enough bubbles and teas throughout the day? I am planning to get one of each 12 litter black and jasmine tea urns. A 30 cup (dry ride) commercial rice cooker? Any idea, suggestions I would appreciate very much. You are an excellent teacher. 👍❤️💐
The size of my hot water boiler was around 30 L. It was a manual fill. Honestly doing a large event is just trial and error. I usually recommend people to start smaller at maybe a farmers market or small kiosk, and then work their way up to big events. Because the biggest issue that you will have at big events will be running out of ice, having waste you're unable to dispose of potentially, and an electricity supply. If you are able to get fresh water during the event, then that will be a bonus. But ice will probably be the biggest difficulty especially if you are in the middle of a field and it will take an hour or more round trip to go get more. But nobody wants to spend all of their profits on ice which is wasted at the end of the day. There are so many factors for an event such as who the customers there, what is the target market in terms of culture and taste preferences, pricing, etc. And in terms of the recipes, there are big batch recipes or made to order recipes, but trying to keep things as simple as possible with as little waste at the end of the day is key. And for calculating the recipes, it's all multiplication. However even then the flavor may not turn out exactly right so you'll need to trial an error large batches in advance. It will be a lot of work and a huge learning curve for you, but hopefully in the end you will be able to make a profit and have learned a lot so then that way the next time you do a large event you will already have notes from the previous one on how to improve. That's all business is just making sure that you improve from every event every single time to get better and better until you have it perfected and can continue to divide and conquer. 😍😍😍 Good luck!!!
Thank you so much Kristin for your input! You are the best! 👍💐
Looking to extend our current menu to include boba. Can i use the pre made brown sugar syrups to put on the tapioca?
Do I need to water it down when I steep the pearls etc, is it more cost effective to make the brown sugar from scratch? Thank you in advance.
You can definitely use the pre-made brown sugar syrups and either water it down a bit... or use it full thickness.
If you're going to put it into fruit teas, I would water it down a bit so that flavor doesn't overpower the fruit tea flavor.
However if you're going to be doing it with milk teas, it can be quite trendy to have the brown sugar flavoring to create a single layer look on the bottom of the cup, or put it around the side of the inside of the cup as well which is also quite trendy.
Cost effective wise, you'll need to compare to your local prices and currency 😇.
I love your teaching. my ONLY concern is contamination from the sink when you first pour into the strainer. The level in the sink looks to meet the boba in the strainer, and that is a disaster if there is ANY contaminants in the sink (and most home sinks are filthy even after being cleaned). I suggest placing the strainer on an upside-down dish to raise it above the bottom of the sink. This goes for anything you are straining. Fruits, pasta, boba....careful of cross-contamination! :-)
There's always that one person who has make issues out of nothing, idk if ur blind or something, but if u look properly there is a 1in stand on the strainer, so it won't touch. You didn't even double check before commenting.
@Nihal Gaming I did watch it, and I went and rewatched it just now, and if you look, the level of the liquid in the sink is so high it reaches past the curve of the bottom of the colander/strainer, which increases chance of cross-contamination.
I posted something positive with a safety concern. I didn't judge or disparage the channel or the author. You should try that sometime.
Well don't you think a professional restaurant like this wouldn't have already taken things into consideration, also the level of water looked to be about 1cm while the stand of the strainer was about 1in
Really? 😂😂😂
Great as always 🥰 Thank you for your clear and detailed explanation.
You’re very welcome 😊 So happy to be able to offer my expertise on Boba to others around the world ❤️
Thank you for this great video! Question: About how many boba drinks does the 700g of boba make?
My daughter and I love boba and we love to make it at home. We decided to serve it at a kids event coming up. It’s a very short event, like 1-2 hours, expecting to serve about 50-75 drinks and it’s a one time thing so I’m trying to figure out how much to make! I plan to cook it in a large pot on the stove and then rinse and keep it in the syrup in an instant pot.
Hello Emily 👋🏼
700 grams made 15-20 drinks in my shops. 👍🏼
So... you'll probably want to make up the entire bag.. and if anything is left over at the end of the party, you could try laying it flat and freezing it, breaking it up into small chunks and putting it into a bag... quick nuke in the microwave with some water for a few seconds and you'll have 'old boba' but if you're not picky, it will do the trick in a pinch and you won't wast any. 😂
Just want to make sure when you say 'keep it in the hot pot'... you mean on the lowest setting right? Like the warming setting...?
Also, when you're cooking in a large pot on the stove, do 2-3 batches of the bag at a time... and only if you have one of those GIANT pots, like they do in Italian restaurant kitchens. Because if it's the size of your normal household pasta pot, then you'll need to do the 700 (maybe a little more) method, so it doesn't over flow! Cleaning up that is a nightmare!!! 😂😂
After all is said and done, at the end when it's all done cooking, just give it a good rinse and put it in loads of the boba solution. You won't necessarily need to keep it on warm until the party, as you're cooking such a large batch... just inside something insulated so the heat doesn't escape.
P.s. and make sure you're using the boba shop quality boba for my recipe... not the quick cook type! 😂
@@BubbleTeaKristin Wow! Thank you so much! This is so helpful.
Yes, I'm keeping it in the instant pot on warm for serving because it's insulated. And good call about cooking in batches. Just received the quality, fragile Boba yesterday. Will do a small test run or two to make sure I have the process down.
Thanks again!

Hi Kristin, I'm in the early stages of starting my Bubble tea business way up here in Powell River, BC, Canada. So great to find a video that explains how to keep the boba throughout the day. For foodsafe purposes what temperature do you hold your boba at throughout the day. I'm thinking the 4 hour industry standard is likely linked to bacteria prevention?? Thank you so much for your advice and I'm sure I'll have more Q's in the near future. All the best. and thank you. I'll be sure to check out your website.
Hi Daniel,
I'm excited for you to start your own shop! I hope it will be a fun experience 😁
The 'industry 4-hours' thing is not only because of potential bacteria growth, but also the boba will either go hard, or become all gooey and gross.
If someone doesn't know, they won't taste the difference... but for the connoisseur and major fans... if you keep the boba too long, you'll hear about it from them via complaints.
Here's a funny story: After I sold my shop, the owner had new staff, etc. I went in once to get a drink and i noticed the boba didn't seem flavored at all with the solution. I politely mentioned to the new owner later about this and they inquired into who was on that day. Come to find out that staff member was putting new cooked boba in with the old cooked boba... and not even changing the solution or adding new! 😩
First off that's not hygienic in this type of scenario, as it was the end of the day so who knows how long the old boba was there for, but second, obviously you're getting delicious new pearls... with old!? And lastly, because there's no new solution, the new boba had no flavor to absorb and tasted plain.😂😂😂
Hope that helps!
@@BubbleTeaKristin Certainly helps and thank you for getting back to me. All the best from Canada.
Thank you for this I wanted to make some because because the closest boba shop near me is 30 minutes away 😪
Glad I could help!
Make sure you're getting the long-cook type pearls 👍🏼
Wow! Such great, detailed video! Can you share the Taiwanese restaurant grade boba supplier? Thank you 🙏
Thank you! 🤩 The supplier of the pearls was a Taiwanese brand called Chainly... but they're wholesale to middle-man distributors only. (I don't think you can buy direct). However any bubble tea middle-man supplier should be offering Grade-A pearls. If they don't... I would second guess the rest of their products...
Yay!finally some good hacking boba
Haha 👍🏼
I love your videos..thanks for the amazing effort ❤
Thank you! And you're very welcome 😁
Thank you for this detailed video
You're very welcome Oscar 🧋💯🎉
Great job explaining.
Thanks Darren 😎
i love the way u teach

Thanks Kalpana 😇🥰🙏🏼
Nepal... Wow!
Hmm... Have you seen my recent video where I shared all about finding a supplier? ☺️ Watching that video is a good beginning point. It came out in July.
Hi Kristin! I have been wanting to put up my own boba shop for quite a while now. I am SOOOO glad I found your channel while researching. I’ll watch all your videos for sure and hopefully I’ll have the courage to start one! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge ♥️♥️♥️♥️ More power to you!!!!

Hey Kristin! I am working on opening a milk tea place here in the US and I have found your channel extremely useful! You go into so much depth and detail! No one else is on this level of clarity- thank you! I would like to ask you how many bags of boba you use per day? How many drinks are made per day from the quantity? And what boba supplier do you use? I am considering making the boba myself, however I want to reduce the costs at first so that I can focus on the menu and side menu. Right now i am calculating all the upfront costs and the cost of supplies so that i can get the COGS. Any information is greatly appreciated!!!
Hi Andrea,
Thank you for your comment. It's very kind of you! 😁
The questions you asked are quite in depth, but I can answer them for the most part.
As I think I mentioned in the video, we usually made 700 grams in the morning on a weekday, but the weekends we usually kept it going all day. (Cleaning it out in between, etc.)
700 grams made 15-20 drinks. My shops were in the UK so I used the supplier 'Boba Box'. But they're UK & Europe only.
Everything comes down to you customers. In the UK majority of customers prefer the juice balls and jellies over boba. But in the US, generally they want the tapioca pearls (boba). So You'll just have to learn over time.
Making tapioca pearls yourself would be too expensive for the demand and supply... you'd need to get a huge machine to do it which is really expensive. But there are franchises where making their own boba is a niche thing. If you make them by hand, you'll need to employ a staff member just to stand there doing this basic task all day long... staff are expensive. 😂 Better just to buy them pre-made and cook them up.

All the best!😁
@@BubbleTeaKristin Thank you so much for the reply! I just knew you'd answer! Yes the machine is about $1,000 and the task is demanding a lot of work. We will have a side menu so it's too much at least at first... Thank you, again!
@@andreastearns7464 only $1k?! Wow! That's cheaper than the Sealing Machine 😂
I think a proper one would be around $4k or more... Just keep that in mind, something to save up for 👍🏼🥰
@@BubbleTeaKristin Thanks! I will! ^^
Hi thanks for posting such an informative video. May i ask what brand of rice cooker you suggest and thermos for the hot water and teas?
You're welcome Muhammad 👍🏼
I enjoyed using the rice cooker brand Buffalo here in the UK.
The tea urns I bought through a bubble tea supplier distribution company. They're just generic imported from China type thing. 😉
(Come in different sizes and colors)
Hi, thanks for this video!! Super informative and precise. I have a question - if you don’t have a rice cooker for your shop, where do you store you cooked boba throughout the day as your serving? Thanks!
You're welcome Anya, glad it was useful 😇.
If you don't have a small rice cooker to keep it insulated, and with the option to be able to warm it slightly during the day, it is no problem. Especially if you live in a warm climate, you can simply serve it out of whatever container you want and it will be fine. I grew up in Southern California and Boba was always just stored out because the temperature was so hot and everyone hard. However in the UK it is cold throughout the year in comparison. The place where I currently live doesn't get above 20° c in the summer. 😂 Also perhaps in the winter your location might become cold also. The idea is just to make sure that the boba doesn't go hard. But if you don't have this issue then I wouldn't worry about it. 👏🏼🧋☺️
Great video! I was wondering after sealing the uncooked boba in an airtight container, where it should be stored. Can I leave it in the freezer or should I leave it outside?
Either is fine. If you're going to be using it the same week, then as you said normal temp is fine. But longer than that definitely freezer. 👍🏻
Super helpful!! Your videos are great
Aw! Thanks for the positive feedback Emma!
Such a useful series, thank you. I'm using these instructions as I price out the servings of each product component. Could you tell me how many servings this 700g batch will typically make?
Hello Emi, Happy to answer your question... I just looked through the comments section as I couldn't recall off the top of my head. 😅 "Approx 20 drinks depending on your scoop size 👍🏼"
Hope this helps. I'm glad you've found value in the series! Thanks for watching. 🧋
@@BubbleTeaKristin Thanks 👍
I’m in the UK ❤️❤️ I wanna come visit your store!
Hi Amy! YAY!!! 😍
I sold my shops during the 2020 lockdowns, but the new owners are great! They just reopened a few days ago (after 1-year being closed😬)
So be sure to stop by and check the place out! 😍
Great video! Awesome content! 👍🏻
Thanks so much Daniel 😁😃🧋
So glad you made this awesome video.
Thank you VERY much.
Regarding your rice cooker to cook boba. Usually a rice cooker automatically switch to warm as soon as it is completed. So I assume you click “cook” for that first 30 mins for water to boil and after it boils, you click “cook” AGAIN to keep it cooking for 30 mins? Am i correct?
Lastly, I store my boba in an air tight container, but for some reason moisture is form on the side of the walls,
Then I try sealing it in a bag then put it in a airtight container, STILL moister now builds up on the seal bag. What am I doing wrong?
Hiya - You're very welcome :) Glad you appreciate the video! 😍
1.) Rice Cooker - so with this HUGE industrial grade one, it doesn't automatically switch to warm. But I do know what you mean, as my small home rice cooker does do that.
The large one for the shops that you see in the video, it will stay on cook, even after the water is boiling. It will only switch to warm if we switch it manually. Not sure why exactly, but it was this way for all the different brands we used/tried out over the years.
2.) I think I understand what you're talking about regarding the uncooked Boba. Basically when you open the bag and you transfer it into a different container, you are getting a lot of humidity?
Can I ask how long you are leaving it in these other containers and what size containers you are using?
If it is a large container you are pouring the uncooked boba into, there will be a greater risk for a lot of condensation. But if you put it all into many smaller containers it is less likely. to have this condensation problem.
The other thing I would do is: inside each giant bag of Boba there is a 'dehumidifier little baggie tablet' type thing. You can save those overtime and then put them into the divided containers and that will prevent any moisture buildup. But just make sure you and your staff remember to remove those dehumidifier tablets before you cook the Boba!
Hi , May I know if we need to use both boba cooker 22:30 and boba warmer ? Can I use all in one pot in baba cooker n warm it in the same pot ?
You could do as you're asking. 👍🏻
But it's a good idea If you're only making one batch at home or for a party.
If you have a shop and you plan on making more than one batch, what will you transfer the tapioca pearls to while you are cooking another batch that takes an hour and a half?
If it's summer and the weather is warm, you can transfer it to whatever you want. But if it's colder, you'll need to keep it warmly insulated... So up to you really 😁
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure! 😍
i'm sorry but what are those black mat looking things called on your cup counter? awesome video keep up the good work!
Hello 👋🏼 thanks 😇 They're actually Bar Mats. They come in different size, shapes and colors. I found the black color to be the best option over the years 👍🏼 Easiest to clean and doesn't stain from the tea.
