I made my own tapioca pearls! !!!

Assalamualaikum everyone~I apologize for the super late post huhuhuhu, I know that I did promise to post the recipe for tapioca pearls in the last post but somehow at that time, I was really busy with assignments and exams, and in the end, I wasnt able to share with you the recipe....buhuuuu. But, no worries, today im going to give you the recipe~~ yayy!!

Tapioca pearls recipe~~

1 cup of tapioca flour
2tbs of brown sugar
1/3 cup of water
And food coloring, I used purple (you can use any color to your preference)

Only 4 ingredients,  easy right? You just have to mix them all and if you think the doh is too runny just add more flour and if the doh is too dry then just add more water. And just roll them into small little balls~make sure they are small okey, because, the first time I made this, I was too excited and rolled them too big and in the end the tapioca pearls arent cooked properly and they can't fit into the big straw haha

For these homemade tapioca pearls, they took a longer time to cook unlike the store bought ones, I did some test myself, and I took 30 min to cook them, which is quite a long time right? But no worries, the result is satisfying hehehe

And then its time to make the milk tea itself~ honestly, I am not sure how to make milk tea so, I just make 'teh tarik' instead, because I think the taste is quite similar, but milk tea is more milky, but, I do check the internet for the recipe, and for you guys sake I tried them during my second tapioca pearls batch~I did change the recipe a bit so, no worries, there will be no copyright issue hehe

Taiwan Milk Tea Recipe
Ingredients: (i used 2ml jug size)
3 tbsp Teh tarik powder (use 1/1/2 cup of water to extract the tea) 

1/2 + 1/3 cups Coffeemate, or any non-dairy creamer

8 tablespoons brown sugar or caster sugar also can do

200 ml hot water to dissolve the creamer and sugar

Instructions:Steep the teh tarik powder for ~5 minutes. And add the creamer mixture. Stir until they are mixed well. And just add cold water to fill my 2 ml jug/in your case, just add accordingly.

Easy as that right?! But, I tell you, honestly, the process is very tiring so, no wonder the pearl milk tea sold is very expensive, I took more than 3 hours just to roll the tapioca pearls and then to cook them requires another 30minutes and then make the milk tea *sigh~ I can only make them when im in a good shape and in a 'rajin' mood or else, I will end up finishing my work halfway, just like , my second tapioca pearls batch heheheh

But, again.....if you are a pearl milk tea maniac like I do, you will think twice before buying them at the store, I think....haha but somehow, just yesterday i bought 2 different brands of pearl milk tea haha (p.s, just to differentiate the taste)
