trying an instant boba kit 🧋

[@WalterWhite570]

they are soft because they are very hot still when I ever make this I like to keep it in the fridge a bit before I drink it :)

That’s what I was thinking this whole time 😭😭💀

[@gandalfthepink2727]

The kits I found at walmart say to slightly cut the boba bag open and then microwave that alone for 20 seconds. That way the balls get their chewy texture back properly. And if you want ice cold, my tip is to heat up about a tablespoon or two of water and add the powder in. That way the clumps go away and stuff and then you can just add cold water or milk and ice. 😊🙏hope this helps anyone also trying the kits.

[@jitteryhands16]

Ahh this is great advice! Thanks

[@gandalfthepink2727]

@@jitteryhands16 yaaay! I'm glad I could help 😊💙

Yes the kits at Walmart are so good, the boba are perfectly chewy

[@cannicole]

That's exactly what I do, except the kit I buy has stove safe packets that u can boil

Trader Joe’s sells just the boba and straws in their frozen section and it’s SO GOOD! I sometimes make it with iced coffee instead of tea

[@ariana8734]

Came here to say this! It's also great in chocolate milk.

[@carlycrays2831]

I love these! And the texture on the balls is so normal and authentic

[@Chickennugget-qt2rt]

I love it with almond milk

[@yourerightimwrong4567]

Yup. They sell an even bigger set (at a cheaper cost per cup) at Costco and it tastes pretty much the same.

[@hi_im_kai9111]

the best way to do it in my opinion is to buy the tapioca pearls and cook them yourself since it’s so easy, then mix it with whatever drink

[@theKaraProject]

Agreed!

[@matmightstir1427]

right? not daunting in the slightest

[@villvvinter9182]

true. just make sure you buy the correct size of boba.

[@KevinWhite-or5lm]

Add in the balls bro wtf

[@variablecheesecake]

costco sometimes has microwave boba packet things, i use those and just steep some earl grey tea to make boba at home :)

[@girly339]

They are also good with cold brew and milk.

[@pinkbutterfly8710]

Boba isn’t that hard to make at home. If you don’t want to make them from scratch, you can get dried ones to boil which is ridiculously easy. EmmyMade and Feed Mei Mei both have really good videos to help you out 😊

[@stillnotstill]

Personally I have to boil water in my microwave and at that point I would just use the kit. But I hope people are able to try making it! Nice to know there are dried ones! 😊👍

[@amandaz5789]

The Trader Joe’s one is great too

[@thenward]

I would mix it with some milk! Cuts some of the sweetness.

[@youcanstayyeah708]

i want boba too now

[@Sorrelpaw]

my friend actually got me this lol. I haven't been able to make it yet though. Glad to hear its good even if it is a little sweet

[@tealablu3759]

There’s a frozen one at Costco. You heat up the balls and add them to milk. It’s so good!!

[@solarmoth4628]

I just use the 5 minute boba from the asian grocery store and make the milk tea the regular way. It doesn’t take that long.

[@theKaraProject]

Me too.

[@ningen6392]

I recommend the Chinese brand ones from the Asian grocery store! Been having those since I was a kid and they’re always so good!

[@theKaraProject]

I use wufuyuan boba, is that the one you’re talking about? I love that one, it’s the best!

[@ashrowan2143]

I have a very similar instant boba kit, you mix hot water with the powder and then add milk and ice in a pot you place the packet of Boba and boil for a while(I can't remember how long) take the package out and pour it into the tea, it's nice the tea is nice and as long as you boil the Boba long enough they have a pleasant texture if you don't boil then long enough they are very hard

[@Jessicamarlana1999]

For those wanting instant gratification(like me) and have an H mart near them, they have them! Brown sugar and other flavors in a pack of 4 of 8. I’ve only tried the brow sugar and taro one but they are good! For at home boba I’d give them a 6 or 7 /10 and only a 6-7/10 is bc the packs are what I would say is a boba shop size small! But other than that taste is a 10/10

[@Abyss.birdtale]

if you haven't tried it yet there's one called " bubble me tea " its a pretty good instant boba and i'd say that its some of the closest I've found to the real deal

[@TianaGratia]

I have the same kettle! We’re practically spirit animals 💜

[@stillnotstill]

Kindred spirits? Saf isn't that culture if I understand correctly

[@aiyshaafsar116]

The taro one is sooo good❤

[@d1etpussy621]

My friend always bought me Bubble Tea! How time flies.. 💭

[@saml943]

I have this same exact kit and it's better (in my opinion) to boil the boba pearls separately as it makes for a more authentic texture. The kit even says you can boil them instead! :)

[@devanshigoswami15]

I've never been this early 💀

[@speculolupus6028]

I love boba tea it’s one of my favourite drinks to have during the summer time

[@jaysesmith1616]

the costco one is amazing

[@clarewhite3004]

Okay so here's how I make my boba. I've never actually been to a bubble tea shop, I've only made it at home! I buy plain raw black tapioca pearls. I boil 1/2 cup boba in 1 1/2c water with 1-2tbsp brown sugar. I eat a boba to check if the chew is right before I take it off the heat. In this pot, I steep enough black tea for 24oz tea, usually 3tsp. I like to use flavored teas. I steep for 3 minutes and remove the tea. I add a 12oz can of evaporated milk to the pot, and I'm done. Boba for 2-3 people... Or just me and my 24oz boba tumbler. It takes about 10 minutes and it's way better than the single-serve packets from the grocery store. You can serve it warm or chill it first. I buy my tea from Adagio and my favorites for boba are chocolate chai with regular evaporated milk and Thai tea (not the Thai chai) with evaporated coconut milk. Don't do hazelnut. I love their hazelnut tea, but it doesn't work in boba. Oh, and you can find reusable boba straws with little brushes for washing up! Even my boba tumbler came with a cleaning brush!

[@123idonotcare]

that's the coolest kettle ever. its futuristic

[@QofCats]

The grey suits you so much!🖤

[@hollyumbreon]

I don’t have any boba shops near me so this is a great idea but idk about this one lol

[@strawberry665_]

I saw someone on Amazon reviews say to make the tapioca pearls taste better, put them in a bowl with 1/4 cup milk and microwave for 1 minute, then pour them into the tea. makes them taste so good!

[@TfrosuVr]

I had one of these before, the rose was my favorite when warm but the tapioca has the texture of a hard boiled egg yolk

[@PoorPreppy]

It looks yummy 🧋

[@ajlorentz]

Trader Joe’s has really good brown sugar boba!!

[@rachiev4286]

You should try making homemade boba! Petty easy and fun

[@youiloves1242]

She’s so pretty. Idk something about her just makes me fall in love with her 🥰😂❤️

[@She.Follows.The.Sun.]

[@peeweeallen517]

Asian food marts sell single cup versions of these, as well as some other drinks. They’re pretty good!

[@vildublikj1]

Homemade boba is INSANELY easy to make actually! You can cook up a big batch of boba and store them to use later too to speed up the process :)

[@bbyjscx]

I love love your kettle

[@TheGrandDukeMarius]

Use not boiled water but pretty warm water you will get a more chewy consistency I had this kit before too

[@sviolet892]

I used a similar kit and very much enjoyed it!

[@ruthanneluvsvacuuming6653]

I Love Your Videos 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 You Guys Are So Adorable

[@persephonesodapop9103]

The tapioca balls I’ve noticed always get weird if they are pre hydrated when you get them. Cooking the dehydrated ones at home are easy and make those kits eat better

[@xrizz9420]

LOVE THISSS

[@Siriuslyyy]

Costco has amazing boba tea kits. And affordable

[@L_05003]

The ones that Walmart have are so good, they have perfectly chewy boba. You can make 3 drinks for about 7 dollars

[@haniapopowska8966]

I've made tapioca at home. It's not easy, but I have never had anything like it. Definitely worth the effort at least once in a while.

[@emilyneuman4029]

I've tried a few different instant boba kits. So far, the brands where you have to microwave the boba in it's little vacuum sealed package first are the best (just tear off the corner to vent). I also found I usually have to microwave it for a really short amount of time, like 15 seconds tops. Maybe try that!

[@latifaebrahim2052]

THIS. IS. PERFECT!!!! My family doesn't like how chewy tapioca is, so it's perfect for them!!!

[@mitzidumaresque2144]

I’ve had that before it’s really good

[@blondeyedboy]

Your skin looks great!

[@crftgrl8149]

Costco sells a kit that’s in the freezer and it’s pretty spot on!

[@Beeeeeee0528]

you should get the pack with a bunch of different flavors! It’s so good!! Especially the Taro

[@astoroidea6502]

My recommendation is the 3:14 brand brown sugar kits, you heat up the boba pearls separately and they retain a better consistency, although you do need to add a sweetener to the tea if you like your drink sweeter as the pearls are the sweetened bit

[@oolala223]

A fix to the sweetness is use milk insed of water, I've used the same kit and milk makes it so much better

[@hagbau]

They have these at Costco in packs with multiple flavors that are SO GOOD

[@renbartleyshaw6860]

In Australia You can get it from your close by asian grocery store!they have the best things from those stores

[@girlwithamic8021]

You can also get dried boba pearls. I think that’s my favorite way to get them. It means you can choose how they end up tasting

[@gozue869]

Making boba at home is pretty easy! I buy some at an Asian market near my house, it’s not difficult, just a bit time consuming. Be warned if you refrigerate any leftovers, they tend to stick a lot.

[@Sakuraa3398]

It’s simple n good

[@melanieroberts108]

You should make a video on making boba. Its actually not that bad or hard. Its just time consuming to roll the individual balls. You should even try making boba shapes/characters. Ive seen a couple people on IG make frogs, cats, pandas, stuff like that

[@georgie5053]

I got that for Christmas and ngl I hate the boba but the brown sugar tea is delicious

[@philiptrevors]

Theres a frozen one you can find at costco and its very good

[@kagaminelen2652]

my sister got me one of these for my birthday and it was really good

[@madilyne]

you should try the diy bubble tea from home kits where you have the make the boba yourself but the balls are just dehydrated and need to be cooked or smthn!!!!

[@randomgachawithvicky8445]

“Soft balls and all.”

[@heyysimone]

We have a similar type of thing you can buy in new zealand. Its got like 5 different flavours you can buy. Has the boba pearls, the actual flavour of the drink, but it doesnt come with straws which i think is good cause thats just more plastic for people to throw away. Buy a reusable boba straw! I havent tried boba tea before - i have no idea what one to get or how to even order it.

[@brittanyjones6501]

Got a kit from Costco with 4 flavors, there super delicious, the Boba isn't super tough either which is nice. You boil the Boba in the baggie for 5 minutes and there was very clear instruction. Would definitely buy again!

[@ebgstudios]

I got basically the same thing a few weeks ago! Gosh I want boba rn-

[@Mochi-Munchie]

I recommend the taro or the matcha I stead there still sweet but less so, and I recommend letting it sit for a while bc the boba can be stiff a nasty in the middle

[@ambrr_lily]

I made Boba at home once. It cooks for a really long time, well it's supposed to. I gave up and threw it into the outside trash because it STUNK so bad! This sounds like a better alternative.

[@GrayeIra]

Honestly the tapioca in instant boba is easier for me to eat, but tbf i prefer crystal boba so :)

[@bunnymoonch.8509]

Making boba from home isn't as intimidating as you think! There's plenty of recipies to try on youtube.

[@jocelyn248]

My mom got me those! But mine have like a milk tea syrup and come with the boba mixed in with that!

[@RandomCronch]

I have gotten a kit like that, and the best way that I found was to boil water on the stove, put the packet in for 3 minutes, and use some to the already boiled water to put in with the powder. Then ofc put some ice in then milk, it turns out so good.

[@Megumii22]

You should try Josh Weissman’s recipe for homemade boba! I make it often and it’s delicious!

[@Nol.]

Y’all if you want brown sugar milk tea just buy brown sugar syrup (best if it’s made for milk tea shops) and mix it with milk. Ig you’d have to make your own boba but it’s easier than you think -someone who worked at a boba shop for 5 or so months

[@everyword1249]

Recently found a boba tea kit at Walmart and it was so good!

[@mason4318]

Me and boba suddenly have much more in common

[@StaySomniaaa]

I found an instant taro milk tea and brown sugar boba at my local Walmart. It is actually quite good. Especially with vanilla almond milk.

[@xxsydneypopytxx]

I’ve had this kit but the taro version. The first time I made it the bobas weren’t right. The second time I did something different but I don’t exactly remember what. But I think I just let it sit in the warm drink and mix it a few times. After a few minutes it would cool down and you could add the ice then the bobas would be near perfect

[@pixelzebra8440]

You should try the Trader Joe’s version! It’s super good if you get the matcha one! Tried it myself and it’s super cheap!

[@sapphospen]

soft balls and all, alright

[@tresdj]

I make mine without the Boba 😮‍💨 Cause I just couldn't do the soft shark eggs thing 😪

[@NikoBittz]

Wow, I was actually thinking of getting this cuz the only Boba shop where I live is a 40 min walk away. Looks like I might actually get it soon lol

[@KyoyamaKita]

Cooking your own boba is easy. Cook a large batch, and freeze them in disposable foil cups in syrup (1:1 water sugar ratio) and you can keep these in your freezer for several months!!

[@blooberrybaggens]

They have one at Costco it's awesome

[@ayycee98]

i literally just made some this weekend, i found the box at walmart. it was good but made my stomach hurt a little after

[@Rasyiagaming01]

You should try making boba I tried making boba 2 times and it turned good

[@emilymaddens8952]

Omg is it just me or do you love saf😊😊😊

[@erinbanana22]

I've found that if you make it ahead of when you want it and cook the boba a little longer but lower temp in the microwave it's better, then you shove it in the fridge to cool down for a little before adding it to and iced cup and it's waaaaay more like the real deal

[@goldranger2]

I found a similar kit at a Pick N Save, I think, back in December, so I had to try it. I liked it.

[@lunatardisflyer102]

I want to get bobtea, but the only place in the UK that I've found only sold it for like £4-£8

[@charisfro6304]

Okay, I've only tried two instant boba packs, but one matcha one I tried was actually really good, including boba texture. Look up "instant marbling boba kit" and it should be one of the first ones that pops up. Surprisingly good, definitely give it a taste.

[@otasatic]

In my country you can just buy dry boba which you cook in hot water, grocery stores that carry Asian food etc sell those so I can't imagine that stuff not being available in the US. Seems like a way better option than the instant kit and also easy to do at home.

[@alexiss6194]

Try the Trader Joe’s one!!!! They are soooo good

[@user-sl3go6vx1d]

I love boba tea and I bought a lot of it

[@Draco4397]

You can make the tapioca boba pearls pretty easily with aid of a microwave. I make them every few months when bored.

[@keeppushingtruth2356]

They have these at Costco. As someone that used to work at a boba shop o found them tasty.

[@rowan5420]

Try mixing coffee with it I have the same kit and it tones the sweetness down a lot
