When life gives you tapioca pearls...

Danny and I decided this last weekend to make bubble tea. Seemed simple enough, right?
We went to our local Asian market and after searching every single isle, we found the tapioca pearl section. While they had flavored varieties (strawberry, blueberry, etc.) we decided to start with the regular kind. We also bought green tea powder, coconut milk and...

Mochi! This is one of Danny's favorites. He snuck it into the basket without me even knowing. Sneaky kid.

Then came the biggest challenge. The straws! We searched the asian market, Target, Starbucks and Sheetz to try to find those jumbo straws they use for bubble tea. With no luck, we returned to the asian market the next day to buy some bubble tea so that we could re-use the straws. 


We made the tapioca pearls according to the directions on the back of the bag. They only require boiling- so easy! We then mixed the green tea powder, coconut milk, honey and ice in the blender. Put it all together and we made our own bubble tea! Wahoo!
