Hi! What kind of milk did you use? Thanks for the answer❤

[@brittanyb6889]

As an Asian person thank you for getting the factual details correct! I love the little tidbits of cultural history throughout the video. Great content 😊

[@sigille]

What are the details? 😊

[@boppiemitchell220]

@@sigille one example I noticed is that she correctly defined ube, which is similar but different than taro. Often times, they are mistakenly used interchangeably. As a Filipino/Asian American, this was one of my favorite videos ^-^

I'm American, living in a highly cultural area (MS Gulf Coast) I agree with you ! I have so many friends that are teaching me something new everyday ! Mostly, Vietnamese, French, Cajun, and so much more ! Have an open mind, and learn as much as you can !😉

[@ateana_lenn]

Ok, funnily enough, I bought the exact same tapioca pearls brand (the green tea flavored version) like, THREE WEEKS AGO, and have been putting off making them because it's my first time and I couldn't find the motivation. This how-to video has the most PERFECT TIMING lol, thank you!

[@PickUpLimes]

Gotta love when the stars align like that 🙌

[@Soofana]

Same! Exactly the same pearls

Me too!

I’ve made the strawberry milk with matcha (so you get this beautiful green, red, white layers). I highly recommend this combo, sweet, earthy, just delicious.

[@HannahMarieee]

Uh that does sound good!

[@exoarmy2918]

Yes!! This is my favourite flavour. I can never find it at boba shops so I make it myself at home.

[@GentleWhisperingASMR]

Omgod I cannot look away. This is so beautiful and satisfying and I can already imagine the flavor 😍

[@isntshelovely92]

My two favorite creators in one place! 😍

[@OliviaLivy]

The strawberry one tastes like a cedar donated Italian soda!

[@onni0624]

I'm from Taiwan and I've been loving PUL for soooo long. I just couldn't stop screaming when I saw you upload a bubble tea video 😍😍😍 THANK YOU Sadia for introducing Taiwan at the beginning and creating these beautiful boba recipes!

[@mehmetucar3685]

❤️❤️

[@yi-yenhuang7160]

As a Taiwanese living abroad, I have never bought and cooked pearls on my own though I saw them packed and on shaves in Asian supermarkets quite often. Now the video really motivated me to cook pearls eventually!! Also the instruction in the video is just exactly the same as the way the most of bubble tea shops in Taiwan do. Thank you Sadia😊

[@khalilahd.]

I’ve tried to make it once (my pearls didn’t come out well 😅) but I would love to try again! Starting with the strawberry drink!

[@jia1018]

I'm from Taiwan so it's great to see that Sadia introduced boba tea here. Just a quick reminder for those who want to try the recipes, if you can't find the instant tapioca pearls like what Sadia bought, then make sure you boil and simmer it for 3 times, otherwise it would be too hard.

[@rncine]

Also to refrigerate what you don’t use.

[@mixologysk5728]

Hey can I speak to u regarding the boba flavours

[@TH-xe6jp]

I’m sure mine are not instant it took them a long time to soften!

[@MminaMaclang]

Part of what makes Thai Tea, specifically Cha Yen its distinct taste and aroma is that the tea leaves are Ceylon tea and the flavorings include a bunch of vanilla. It's so strongly vanilly flavored, in particular the famous Cha Tra Mue brand. I kind of just recommend finding Cha Tra Mue if you can and use that with some milk. They also have a great Oolong Rose that works fantastically as a milk tea as well.

[@FilippaSkog]

Would 50/50 Ceylon tea and vanilla rooibos maybe be a decent option if you can’t get hold of the real stuff? The vanilla rooibos is very distinctly vanilla-y 😄

[@PickUpLimes]

Thanks so much for sharing this, Thoughtspresso! Will try to get my hands on it 🤓

[@Moe8383]

@@PickUpLimes Is condensed milk vegan? I always thought it was made of real milk.

[@AmatGotchi]

​@@Moe8383 normal condensed milk is not vegan, but she uses condensed coconut milk, which is vegan

[@MminaMaclang]

@@FilippaSkog oh yes, there are vanilla rooibos that perhaps you can use if you cant find ChaTraMue in your country! I think it's worth a shot

[@stupor_mundi]

These recipes feel like tiny trips to exotic lands. And if the delicious-looking presentation weren't enough then there was that amazing ASMR sound of the ice and the glass as you mixed the tea, just an overall delight 😍

[@cycast3356]

I didn't realized people today still think Asian countries are exotic lands, lol.

[@stupor_mundi]

@@cycast3356 Given the word "exotic" literally means from outside or foreign, yes, from where I am which is Europe something from halfway across the globe that offers me a different sensory or cultural experience is exotic by definition. To someone from Asia, Europe would be considered exotic. Your confusion is really not knowing what the word exotic means :)

[@cycast3356]

@@stupor_mundi I'll chalk up your reply as simply ignorance of the word "exotic" that was mostly used in the colonialism and rooted in mostly white culture references for anything "non-white". And no, I had never used "exotic" to describe Europe because it's an archaic term to describe something foreign. So, if you please. Shut the hell up colonizer.

[@kellydewaal5604]

South Africa here🇿🇦Just found your channel, love your calm energy⭐️ The tea you mentioned in your Thai Iced tea is Rooibos, it’s an Afrikaans pronunciation, it translates to Red Bush. It is an indigenous South African plant and it is my favorite kind of tea🥺

[@GODofGAMING898]

I am also from sa and just love sadias channel! Learned so much from her and felt kinda good when rooibos tea was used here:)

[@anoukmelissa3823]

I love rooibos!

I’ve recently discovered your channel! Just wanted to let you know how inspiring you are! You have such a calming vibe and just so kind! Thank you for all your videos and resources! I hope you continue to follow your passions!

[@LonaLee]

Thank you for this. I always debated making boba at home and you’ve taken the guess work out of it all. I can’t wait to try the recipes.

[@PickUpLimes]

Thank YOU, Lona! It's honestly surprisingly easy. I hope you enjoy them 😊

[@veganlunchmom]

And so fancy!! I’ve never had one before!!

[@voicesofjoi545]

I have always loved bubble teas! I moved back to my tiny hometown to take care of my 92 yr old Mom where there's no access to anything authentically Asian . I've been buying what I need off of Amazon. So I appreciate your excellent video instructions on making bubble teas!! Ordering on Amazon now, lol

[@indaybadiday8884]

You make it look so easy and effortless. Love your calm energy and the aesthetics of the drinks and the overall vibe and presentation.

[@Thephoenix19981]

Yes! Finally someone is commenting on her calm energy! Her voice is really mesmerising 😊

[@morganl2633]

These all look INCREDIBLE! I’m adding tapioca pearls to my grocery list to give these a try. As always, thank you for the amazing recipe and knowledge.

[@gvaishnavi1250]

Hey Sadia, A quick tip for the matcha boba drink. Consider layering mashed strawberries with some maple syrup along with the boba, then oat milk, and matcha. It makes the matcha taste more fruity and gives a delicious spin to the entire drink! Thanks for the delicious recipes :)

[@eunicejusto8857]

Friends, give UBE a try! Aside from what Sadia showed here, we also love using Ube as spread to bread or eat it straight from the jar as dessert! Sending love from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@jillhumphrys8073]

Wow! My husband is Phillippino and we ship at several different Asian stores throughout NWArkansas. Boba was always something that intrigued me, but there are so many kinds I could never decide. I prefer the dark brown ones best and Ive even made it with instant tea. 😳 But brewed tea is best. Just black tea, condensed milk and the pearls!

It literally can’t be healthy if there’s sugar added to it, this KZbinr happens to be slim so it can deceive the audience into thinking these recipes aren’t actual cancer promoting beverages.
