[@YappieKitchen]

Maixlinh Yaas! Team Bubble tea!!!

[@surelySING]

We call it bubble tea in Australia.

[@iceprincessiii3749]

XD when you said wait the heck in the beginning that is exactly what my mom said too lol. Well you said it in Chinese my mom did too

[@YappieKitchen]

Hahaha! I use to hate it when my mom was super cheap and stingy but as an adult I am the same way now!

[@stephen2331]

Yea I call it bubble tea I hate when people call it boba I'm from NY

[@lollolz9357]

I think it might be a Canadian thing because I still and will always call it bubble tea!

[@YappieKitchen]

Yes! Thank you... Team Bubble Tea

[@Icy_Wolfie]

I have been calling it bubble tea for years and that is such an OG milk tea brand! Question though how do I know that the Boba won't stick together after boiling it for so long?

[@YappieKitchen]

Just keep stirring intermittently. You have to boil them for a long time...I did it a couple of more times and each time I boiled it for close to an hour. And yes they should be called Bubble tea. It was so hard for me to call it Boba, I kept getting confused haha

[@Lxythix]

Wouldn’t the boba harden when frozen?

[@YappieKitchen]

You would have to boil them for a very long time. Up to an hour. I believe the pearls that are used from the store bought kind are actually made with rice flour, as they have a mochi like consistency.

[@tdang2660]

Use glutinous rice flour to make the boba instead. They stay chewy when frozen.

[@anitako9456]

definitely "Bubble Tea" ! looks good!!

[@YappieKitchen]

Anita Ko totally “Bubble tea” what the hell does Boba even mean?

[@RudyVisuals]

Omg my husband and I both LOVE boba ice cream. Definitely going to try this!

[@Senhie]

I wouldn't use tapioca for this. It hardens when it freezes. Try mochi balls instead. And try brown sugar to coat the popsicle mold. The original is brown sugar popsicle 😅

[@YappieKitchen]

Yes the tapioca does harden but u can boil it for a very long time and it will soften up a bit even when frozen. The store bought ( I think) uses a mix of tapioca and rice flour. It’s more of a mochi texture for sure.

[@alexho1675]

Ohhh interesting!

[@scissor_w_gwen]

omg I loved the vid and did the recipe! it was sooooo good. instant sub! keep doing what you do, please. ❤️❤️❤️

[@YappieKitchen]

Tom thanks so much for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. You made my day.

[@kiethua385]

I'm so stupid, why did I buy ingredients to make my own ice cream when I can just buy already made vanilla ice cream. Would have saved time and money.

[@MinMin-sv5nz]

...this brand Breyers if u leave the icream all night outside of the fridge it doesnt melt....

[@middle-wh4oz]

Love your video! Looks fun to make and yummy to the tummy!!

[@shivangiranjan8085]

Girlll I’m 14 and I’ve been calling it bubbly tea my whole life

[@YappieKitchen]

Shivangi Ranjan wonder why some people are calling it Boba? Maybe it’s an American thing?

[@shivangiranjan8085]

a yappie's kitchen Not sure honestly. I live in America and people call it all different type of things like tapioca tea (ikr it sounds to weird) boba and bubble tea. I think bubbly tea is the most common name though

[@daphne9960]

I love those bubble tea ice creams

[@shivangiranjan8085]

Hi, quick question, what can I use instead of the milk tea powder? Thank you so much!

[@YappieKitchen]

You can use regular black tea. Red rose/Lipton are all good brands.

[@shivangiranjan8085]

a yappie's kitchen Thank you so much!

[@alexho1675]

Really good!!!

[@camtran9673]

Yum looks so good and easy!

[@jasminexthai]

Going to try this! Thank you 😄

[@YappieKitchen]

Make sure to over boil the tapioca balls. I did it a couple of more times since the video and I started to cook them for closer to an hour. To make sure they are extra soft. If u don’t have time, then cut the tapioca balls in half to make them smaller. Otherwise they will be tough after frozen.

[@celestwelch6143]

I interchange between calling it bubble tea, boba tea, and pearl milk tea! Bubble tea is definitely my primary name to call it!! I can’t wait to make these:)

[@wallace19860914]

That’s so long to cook them. I cook mine for 5 minutes and there already super soft gummy texture. At 30 minutes i would of thought it would be to Mushy. I def wanna try this! Great video!

[@YappieKitchen]

Once u freeze them they will be rock hard. That’s why u have to overcook them so when you put it in the freezer it will be the right texture. The ones in the store bought is not a “true tapioca” I believe it’s made with rice flour to get that chewy consistency.

[@flwr9013]

But don’t the balls get hard in the ice cream bc the balls don’t freeze properly

[@YappieKitchen]

Thats why I recommended that you boil the tapioca for a long time. I started boiling it for an hour now. It’s not perfect but it helps. Alternatively you can make your own from scratch. If you do, you would have to add a bit of rice flour to modify the texture.

[@laurahua5505]

Does the boba turn hard?

[@jrh0369]

I just just 6 boxes from the Asian market. My daughter loves them. They were crazy expensive at $7.99 a box of four.

[@jjjjaspn]

lucky! mine were $10.99 for one box and the limit was 2

[@YappieKitchen]

Wow 10.99? That’s nuts!

[@YappieKitchen]

Yeah it’s very expensive. But I admit it is good. But the alternative I made is not bad too. And much cheaper.

[@alexho1675]

Yeah it’s an expensive habit! Glad that there’s this video rite?

[@gelagsolis]

Is there a vegan alternative? :(

[@YappieKitchen]

Yes girl, just use Vegan Ice cream. The bubbles/pearls are made from Tapioca flour which is from the cassava root. The only issue you might come across is that you will have to make your own tea instead of the packaged one I used (which contains milk powder). In this case you will have to boil black tea and reduce it for a long time. Your version might end up tasting better!
