This is by far Best boba video out on youtube , amazing
Hey Ryu,
Thanks so much. That's so kind 😇
Indeed amazing!!
You make it very easy-going, laid back, and fun to do, but man have you put a lot of thought into every step. I love how even for something as user-friendly as boba you have a reason behind every technique you do
Aw! That's awesome - thanks so much! 🤩 Yes - there's always a reason behind every action taken in life. 😁
Thank you for your videos! LOVE THEM!
You are so welcome! Thanks for the feedback and commenting 😍❤️
Your videos are so helpful and amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make them! :)
You're so welcome!!! 😇 Thank you for the kind compliment 😉
Love this! Definitely going to try it.
Great! 😎🧋
Thanks Kristen, I can get these at my Asian grocery store. I’ve never seen the dark ones there.
Great! 😃
Love your video. The crystal boba looks so beautiful.
Thank you so much!!!
Do you have this often where you live?
@@BubbleTeaKristin I usually have black boba. The crystal one here is usually made with konjac.
I LOVE boba and always wondered how it is cooked.
I love it too! 😂
Yes - Secrets revealed 😁
This is the best video 👍 thanks for posting 😊 for sure gonna try this ☺️
Awesome thanks ☺️👍🏻😎
This is the recipe I use for at home boba and it's perfect. Thank you;!
Valerie - thank you so much for the positive feedback! I'm so happy to hear this 😍😍😍
I 💕💕 love the flamingo 🦩 measuring cup.
🦩🦩🦩 Thanks so much 🦩🦩🦩
I have usual recipes so much I’m not so helpful it’s just the best Boba recipe that is out there❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😂😂
My pleasure 😊 Thanks. xx
I couldn't find the pre flavored bobas so I got the clear ones and I didn't know how to flavor it and couldn't find any vids how too. But then I found this video. Thank u
You're welcome 😁
Great video, I'm subbed! Looking forward to more of ur content 😊✌️
Oh wow! Thanks Nina!!! Welcome to the bubble tea family ☺️
amazing vids Kristin yous should do one about types of black tea and their use for milk teas and bobas
Hey Justin,
Thanks for the positive feedback 👍🏼
Doing a video about different types of black teas sounds interesting!
I'll add it to my future videos list ideas 😉
Thank you. Your videos have helped me immensely get the courage to try this. I have allergies so I am always looking for something different. Actually first heard about them watch NCIS Hawaii where Ernie speaks to Lucy Tara about as his character had been introduced to bubble tea and that got me on my search to find if it was something I could enjoy. Thanks I have learnt so much with your videos from Louise in Australia 🇦🇺.
Awesome, Louise! Thanks for sharing and being a part of our community 😁.
very informative. i also like matcha tea.
Great! 🍵🍵🍵
Hello Kristin 👋🏼
Love your videos! Would love to see a video on how to run a boba business? your journey?
Hey Lara,
Thanks for the kind comment. 😍
I actually have a website where I teach people to open their own business from any level of knowledge. www.BubbleTeaExpert.com
However, I will definitely make a note of your idea about my journey, as it is a fun video idea!
All the best to you!🧋🧋🧋
I love this channel. I want to train with you and dream of opening a boba shop
Aw! That's very kind, thank you. ❤️ I hope your dream comes true of opening up a shop! 🧋
Awesome... I have two words to add... Coconut Sugar
Thanks for your support 👍🏼
Yes - coconut sugar would also be a good option!
Thanks for the recommendation 🌟
@@BubbleTeaKristin can you make a video with coconut bubble? I tasted in Thai and loved
I come here after I listen to her husband.
I go from the world 🌍 is collapsing.
To whipping up the greatness of life😀
😂🤣😂🤣
I'm always looking for new and interesting TH-camrs, so thank u for the info!
good variety boba..🎇
🎉
When I saw your video was 4 times longer than any other on the subject I thought “What the Fried potato chip”, than I thought, well, I have time to waste so why not… Then I watched your video and yes, I found your information very VERY VE.RY valuable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I feel I can cook perfect clear bobas now.
One question though : what’s the best method to freeze cooked bobas? Also, should those be reheated before use?
Also : thank you for offering a vegan alternative to honey! 🌱
Hello 👋🏼
Your comment was so kind and inspiring ☺️.
Some people enjoy the extra info, and it's free anyway! 😂 But others just want the easy cut and dry. I try to do a bit of both. Not talk too much with useless info, but enough for people to understand WHY the process behind everything. 😇😅
Okay so for freezing cooked boba: I've not done it myself personally, but I know many people who have told me they have done it for home use and they are happy with the results.
Nothing beats freshly cooked tapioca pearls, but if you just want to keep some in some ice cube trays with water, and then simply defrost them for a few seconds in the microwave until they're at the correct consistency and texture, then go for it.👍🏼 There's no harm in doing it and it's a good alternative for home use after you've cooked a big batch.
Hope that helps! 💯
@@BubbleTeaKristin thank you for you kind words and thanks so much for your answer, it’s very helpful! I will definitely try this way 😊
Nice tips! I’m a person that’s OBSESSED with boba. Does homemade boba that I just made count as the crumbly kind?
Hello 👋🏼 Welcome!!!!
I'm obsessed with Boba too 😅
Were you curious how to cook home made boba? Have a video on that in the tapioca playlist... 👍🏻
I guess the answer to your question depends on my understanding of the point of the question. 😇🧋😉
can you list some sources for suppliers for commercial grade ingredients? Also for cups, straws, seals, etc? I am located in the USA, Kentucky, and i am having a hard time narrowing down a supplier, or determine if what they sell is quick cook/slow cook.
Feel free to send me an email through my website. www.BubbleTeaExpert.com
I don't feel comfortable posting information like that here on YT 😁.
I love your video!! I was wondering if these would taste like tapioca pearls with the brown sugar?
Hello 👋🏼 Thank you!
Well, it depends. If you're making tapioca pearls at home from scratch, and you're not adding any sugar to them, then yes they'll take this taste the same.
However if you're wanting to compare them to the tapioca pearls that you get from XFT or a tiger sugar type place, then no, these types of white clear pearls generally don't have any added sugar to them.
Or if they do it would be a lower amount.
The sweetness of boba generally comes from soaking it in a sweet solution thereafter, so the more sweeter you want it the higher concentration of sugar you should soak it in there after cooking.
Hope that helps 😃
@@BubbleTeaKristin yes, thank you!!
I bought boba for the first time (there are no shopps that sells it around here), and mine are white and rock hard. The bag doesn't say anything about what kind they are or how to cook them though, but I'm guessing from your video that they are the quick cook kind? How would you cook them? Do you have any videos on that?
Edit: they are 98% tapioca sarch, 2% water. That's the only information on the pack
If they're rock hard, they're probably the quick cook type.
The long cook type are very soft and break easily.
There's so many other videos about how to cook the quick cook type. (Or a quick Google search too.) I haven't done a video for the quick cook type yet. I personally am not a fan of them so I've only purchased them once 🤣
Thank u. Someone els on youtube put them in water over the night. What do u think about that?
You could try whatever you'd like, but they'd get really plump and gooey if left out overnight. They wouldn't taste right either. They're best to cook and eat within a few hours really... A delicacy. 👍🏼
Great video! How can I get that maple/rasin/licorice taste WuFuYuan dark tapioca pearls have?? I love the taste but can't find the recipe anywhere. Plz help.
There are different types of brown sugars. I would suggest researching to find out exactly how many exist... Then get ahold of every single one and melth them all down... Try each one and see which is closest.
XFT claims to use brown sugar from Taiwan. I know there's Taiwanese brown sugar for example.
But I also know the pre-made brown sugar for shops comes in flavor variations as well.
Perhaps this could be a fun an delicious research project for you! 🧋🧋🧋🧋🧋
Thank you!!
I am planning to make my brown sugar sweetener at home, so is it ok if it is still warm when I put the boba in? Or does it have to be room temperature
Great! Ya warm is totally fine 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
How do you make different colors of boba?
You'd need to make it from scratch using tapioca flour in order to do that. I have a video on how to make pearls from scratch in a playlist on my channel. th-cam.com/play/PLK7g_t77IW0JnYz5nx_tyPq89qILm0Ojl.html
Do you have a recommendation for making a sweet brown sugar solution myself? What would be the ratio between brown sugar and water?
Hello Elam,
That's a great question 😂 I think you're referring to the Tiger Brown Sugar or similar? Really to get that look and taste, you'll need to incorporate molasses too.
Wow!! Just like making pasta.. only it takes longer to cook
🤩🤩🤩
Is agave an ok sweetener for boba?
Definitely 🥰 This is popular for home use 👌
Can I 'flavor' them somehow with fruit juice?
Definitely give it a try. The more concentrated flavor the better the odds 👍🏼 Let us know how it goes! 😍😎
How do you store or display different bobas in your shop?
Hi Marisa,
Do you mean toppings like jellies and juice balls which need to be refrigerated, or the tapioca bobas which should be kept warm or room temp...? 😇
@@BubbleTeaKristin Hi! I mean the toppings/jellies and the white tapioca pearls? Also, how long do these toppings/jellies last before making a new batch?
@@marisak8194 If it was a juice ball or jelly, they need to stay in their juice they came with in a refrigerated container. Once you open them they're good for up to a month. I used a rotation system in a refrigerated glass display case so all of the customers could see what the refrigerated items looked like.
For any toppings that needed to be kept warm, such as white or black boba, we had also on the display case pictures of the white and black boba with its name, but it obviously wasn't in the refrigerated case, it was kept in its own warmer separately.
You can find out more information towards the end of this video I made regarding Boba: th-cam.com/video/fGMzdh-hOK4/w-d-xo.html
My tapioca pearls either are really hard on the inside or completely mushed and there shape is lost. The package says tapioca pearls but doesn't specify how to cook or anything
Mmm... Interesting.🤷🏼♀️ If there are no ingredients on the outside of the bag, I would be wary about this. My guess is that they are not actually tapioca pearls, but are using a different type of flour base. Are there any instructions listed on the outside of the bag? There was also someone in this comments section who had a similar situation as you and it might be worth finding that conversation thread too for some assistance.
Should we soak it first?
No. Soaking it would dissolve and breakdown the uncooked pearls.
Hi Kristin 👋🏼
So once we make our tea we don’t need anymore sweetener than the one already infused in the boba? Or is it just to our taste?
Thank you in advance.
Love your videos ✌🏻
Hey Jacqueline,
Thanks for your comment & compliment 😍
It's totally up to your preference! If you enjoy less sweet, then simply sweeten the boba pearls and don't add any sugar to your drink. But if you prefer more sweet, then sweeten both!
If you're a shop though, you'll need to have a base sweetness level for all your drink recipes - regardless of if boba is served in them or not. Hope that helps! 😁🧋
@@BubbleTeaKristin got it ! Thank you so much 😊
Can sago be used in place of tapioca pearls?
If you're cooking Sago balls, try to cook them the same way.
I've not done this yet, but my friend has replaced her tapioca pearls with sago pearls due to the shortages and says they cook the same way.
Hope that helps.
Let us know how it goes 🤩
Also I would look up the drink Mango Sago. This is a trending drink which uses the little mini sago pearls... only take less than a minute to cook them up type thing and tastes amazing.
Why do some of the pearls have an "uncooked" centre look? Are they all done or is it just cloudy?
Just cloudy. They un-cloud a bit as time goes on. Taste the same. 😉
I was gifted a bag of this pearls and didn't know what they do but my question now is can you do this with a alcoholic drink?
Yes of course. Just put alcohol in the drinks 🤣😂
Or maybe some alcohol when soaking the boba thereafter too! 👏🏼🏆🤗
So the lid shouldn't be closed right?
During which section...?
My pearls are hard out of the package did I buy the wrong one?
You probably got the quick cook type. 🤦🏼♀️
You mean they don't crumble when you push down on them straight out of the package, right?
I have tryed this multiple times and my water always goes thick and foggy. What is happening?
That's sad. 😬 I've not had anyone else say this, nor experienced this myself.
Troubleshooting Help:
- Is your water ROLLING boiling when you put in the tapioca pearls?
- Are you using a 1:8 ratio (1 cup boba to 8 parts water?)
- Do the cooked boba pearls turn out okay? (The water doesn't really matter if they cook okay.)
- Are you sure you're using white tapioca pearls that are Restaurant Quality Grade!? ***Preferable from a Bubble Tea Shop Supplier!? NOT quick cook type and not just random small white tapioca from an Asian Market...?
Lemme know 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Mine are still pretty white and taste starchy should I repeat?
Are yours the quick cook type or long cook - does it say on the package? Also what ingredients? Are they Tapioca based or Sago, Agar, etc?
@@BubbleTeaKristin I got rid of the package unfortunately :( it didn't break apart when I thumbed it. I did end up cooking it longer and it did better. Fingers crossed for the second try. :) Your video is very helpful. Thank you.
How did it work out for you?
Pog
👍🏼
Low-key didn't know they were a thing until I saw them in my shop but the label was misspelt so I didn't notice :,)
👍🏼
This doesn’t work for me. They are 100% not the quick boil kind because they break easily. While cooking they turn translucent but the middle stays hard
How big are they? Normal size boba 8.5mm?
Crystal boba uses agar agar not tapioca 😟
Hi Person,
I understand your comment, however the name of it varies drastically depending on which country you live.
Take my Salted Cream Mousse recipe... I can think of at least 5 different names for the same product 😁
@@BubbleTeaKristin thank you for informing me :)
