Bubble tea is very much a concept that originated in Taiwan with the popular Pearl Milk Tea, a brew of black tea, milk and tapioca balls and typically served cold, as is most tea sold in the plethora of tea shops in Taiwan. The recipe for Pearl Milk Tea first originated in the city of Kaohsiung.
Ingredients used to make this giant cup of tea were black tea bags, milk powder, liquid sugar, tapioca balls and ice cubes. The tea bags were brewed in water to a temperature of 85 degrees centigrade.
It took approximately four hours to prepare the entire amount of tea.
