    About Brown Sugar Milk Tea Recipe

    Bubble tea is a tea-based beverage that first appeared in Taiwan in the early 1980s. Taiwanese migrants introduced it to the United States in the 1990s, first in California through areas such as Los Angeles County, but it has since spread to other countries with a large East Asian diasporic population.

    Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

    Ingredients to Make Bubble Tea (Brown Sugar Milk Tea Recipe)

    Tapioca Pearls 

    Tapioca pearls, also known as tapioca balls, are edible translucent spheres made from tapioca, a cassava root starch. In Southeast Asian cuisine, they began as a cheaper substitute for sago. They are most commonly known as pearls or boba when used as an ingredient in bubble tea.

    Brown Sugar 

    Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar with a distinct brown colour from the presence of molasses. It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar made up of sugar crystals with a residual molasses content, or it is made by adding molasses to refined white sugar.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is brown sugar boba?

    This is a bubble tea with no tea, only fresh milk, brown sugar syrup, and tapioca pearls. The tapioca pearls are cooked in brown sugar syrup over low heat until they absorb all of the smoky, caramelly flavour, and then topped with cold fresh milk.

    What is the difference between boba and brown sugar boba?

    They are made in the same manner as clear bobas, except that caramel colouring or brown sugar is added to give them their dark colour. Flavored boba pearls are available in some locations to increase the versatility of boba pearls. Flavored bobas are tapioca pearls that have been cooked or coated in a flavoured syrup.

    Who invented boba?

    This sweet and refreshing beverage can be traced back to the 1980s in Taichung City, Taiwan. Liu Han Chieh invented it by combining milk tea with black tapioca balls. Students became fans of the drink, which they purchased from street vendors for breakfast or as a snack.
