View PricingPearl on Milk Tea
Pearls, also known as boba, are a popular addition to milk tea or bubble tea. They are small, chewy spheres made from tapioca starch that add a unique texture and flavor to the beverage. Originally from Taiwan, this tasty drink has gained popularity worldwide.
Pearls are typically black in color, but they can also be white or transparent. The most common type of pearl used in milk tea is the black pearl, which gets its color from brown sugar. These pearls are small and round, with a chewy and slightly gummy texture that contrasts well with the smoothness of the milk tea.
Origin and History
The origin of pearls in milk tea can be traced back to Taiwan in the 1980s. It was first invented by Liu Han-Chieh, who combined sweetened tapioca balls with milk tea to create a delicious and refreshing beverage. The black color of the pearls was introduced to enhance the visual appeal of the drink.
The trend quickly caught on in Taiwan, and milk tea stands started popping up all over the country. It soon spread to other parts of Asia, and eventually to the rest of the world. Today, milk tea shops can be found in almost every major city, offering a variety of flavors and toppings.
Preparation
To make pearls for milk tea, tapioca starch is mixed with water to form a dough. The dough is then rolled into small balls, cooked in boiling water until they become translucent, and finally soaked in a sugary syrup made from brown sugar. This gives the pearls their distinct sweet flavor and black color.
To prepare milk tea, a brewed tea (usually black tea) is combined with milk and sweetener. The pearls are then added to the tea, along with any additional toppings such as fruit jelly, grass jelly, or pudding. The drink is typically served with a wide straw that allows the pearls to be easily sucked up along with the liquid.
Popularity and Variations
Pearl milk tea has become a global phenomenon, with countless variations and flavors available. In addition to the classic black milk tea with pearls, there are also options like fruit-flavored teas, matcha green tea, and taro milk tea.
Some tea shops even offer customizable options, allowing customers to choose the sweetness level, ice level, and toppings of their choice. This versatility has contributed to the drink's popularity and appeal, as it can be tailored to individual preferences.
Overall, pearl milk tea is a delightful and refreshing beverage that combines the flavors of tea, milk, and sweet pearls. Whether you enjoy it as a quick pick-me-up or as a leisurely treat, it's a drink that offers a unique and enjoyable experience.
