Bubble Tea Cafe Secret for The Best Soft Chewy Tapioca

Our little bubble tea shop, Canada

Our wonderful customers! 

Bubbletea, a Taiwanese tea drink, has become widely popular, but it's still very difficult to make your own bubble tea at home. This is because recipes are never shared! We are going to do the opposite here, we will be sharing our cafe recipe so that you can create your own delicious drinks at home. (Be sure to subscribe to receive our other delicious bubble tea recipes in my latest recipe series.)

Having the best tapioca(also known as bubbles or bobas) is extremely important to a bubble tea cafe. Besides having great drinks, the taste of our tapioca is what often brings the customers back. Delicious tapioca is key to an authentic bubble tea drink.

The best tasting tapioca is soft, chewy and sweet with a little hint of maple syrup. 

The secret to having the best tapioca is ensuring that it has time to sit in simple syrup. This enhances the texture and taste of your bobas!
