With the heatwave that’s happening right now. We need the ultimate Summer drink to keep cool. Bubble Tea, or Boba Tea, is a staple in our household! Going out to get one is great, making it at home is more cost-effective, and, if it’s too hot to go outside.

I took a lot of inspiration from the recipe over at honest food talks, but opted to use ingredients that I had around the house. It’s quick, easy & you can control the sweetness, type of milk used, etc.

You will need:
– Quick-cook tapioca pearls
– Sweetener of your choice
– Tea bags x2-4, depending on strength of caffeine you’d like
– Milk of your choice

I use these fast cook tapioca pearls, which you can find at your local asian supermarket or online. The most common sweeteners to use are syrup, or brown sugar. In this case, I used brown sugar. For the milk, I used Bio Soy Milk. But you can choose your own milk that you like best 🙂

Hi all! This is my first post as contributor, thanks for the invitation 🙂

A little about me: I’m an experimental cook that likes to try different cuisines & flavours using whatever I find in my cupboard, and often like to bring in flavours from East & South Asian recipes in particular for the taste of home. I also like to get inspired by British classics which I grew up with, which brings me to today’s dish – a simple yet delish ‘Cottage’ Pie.

Traditionally with beef, I didn’t have any at home, so went for a flexitarian version, where the main ingredient is lentils – the only non-vegetarian ingredient I used was Bovril beef stock, which for the full veggie experience, can be substituted with Marmite, both for flavour & colour.
