How to Make Boba & Bubble Tea at Home Previous image Next image Love bubble tea? Make it at home! Do you love bubble tea? Personally, I can't walk past a bubble tea shop without suddenly craving one of their sweet ice-cold beverages dotted with chewy boba tapioca pearls.

Boba are at their very chewiest best if used within a few hours of cooking. The sweet and creamy bubble teas you buy in the stores are usually flavored with special powders and sweetened condensed milk. What's your favorite kind of bubble tea?
