Jasmine Delight Bubble Tea Recipe

Bubble tea, the delightful drink from Taiwan, is a refreshing take on your ordinary tea. With a range of flavors such as strawberry, rose, coffee, melon, taro, almond and so on, bubble teas are to Taiwanese as coffee is to Americans.

Bubble teas can be recognized by their signature ingredient, tapioca pearls. They are marble-sized, chewy pearls that are made from caramel, starch, cassava root etc. More often than not, they are black in color, but they can also be white or colorless.
