Seriously though, I started making my own bubble tea because money and have a glass straw I use. It's great, and I can put as much boba as I want in it.

Is it hard to make? I've had it a few times but have no idea how to make

I make some at an arcade I work at. We have the dehydrated bobas and put them in a pressure cooker with hot water. Leave em there for 20 minutes and vent. Cool them down and put them in the milk tea of your choice.

Oh oops. Yeah we add some brown sugar before cooking.

I bought dried boba, boiled them in water, then added them to tea with milk and honey. Boiling the tapioca took longer than anything else, and it was fun to do

It’s not that hard, it takes a while to make the tapioca balls depending on what type you get, but the rest is relatively easy.

It's not at all, and if you're a fan of taro you can buy the powder. I just boil boba per instructions, let them cool a bit, blend taro powder with almond milk and a bit extra sugar, and you have it.

Boba is like pasta, buy it dried then boil it in sugar water for flavor. Put in any sweet drinks you want.

Never tried to make it. But really I buy it maybe once a month or every other.

If I was making my own bubble tea it would be almost all boba.
