FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the easiest bubble tea recipe to start with?

Classic black milk tea with cooked tapioca pearls. It needs four ingredients and the pearls are the only step with timing that matters.

Can I make bubble tea without a kit?

Yes. A pan, a jar and a wide straw cover almost every recipe here. Kits mainly save you sourcing pearls and syrup separately.Making boba for a crowd instead? We run mobile boba bars for weddings, offices and festivals.
