    The Origin of Bubble Tea or Milk Tea

    Some attribute this to the chewy, addictive texture of the tapioca balls; others credit the smoothness of the milky tea, and yet others credit the simple pleasure of popping the straw into the sealed plastic top. Whatever the reason is, Milk Tea, otherwise known as Bubble Tea, is becoming a favorite.

    Among the few tea preparations to have gained widespread popularity not only in its nation of origin, Taiwan, but also throughout the world, Milk Tea is one of the most notable. Milk tea shops may be found all across the United States these days, thanks to the popularity of the beverage. But who in the world came up with the brilliant concept of putting tapioca balls in tea in the first place?

    Milk Tea or Bubble Tea began to emerge in the late 1980s, and its origins are still up for discussion today. It was already well-known in Taiwan, owing to the widespread tradition of tea drinking in East Asia at the time. During that period, shaved ice and tapioca balls were considered common desserts. The idea of combining three popular parts into a single beverage came about at some point—tapioca balls on the bottom, followed by a layer of shaved ice on top, and milk tea to fill out the rest of the drink.

    Serving Suggestions

    The saltiness of french fries is a perfect complement to the sweetness of your delightful Strawberry Milk Tea. The combo of milk and cookies is a household favorite. As a result, Strawberry Milk Tea with chocolate oatmeal cookies or danish wedding cookies would only make logical sense as well. If you are on a tight diet but would still want to enjoy your tea, slices of banana would taste just as good with this drink too.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I prepare the tapioca pearls in advance?
