In the past ten years, bubble tea has spread from Taiwan Province Province to China, Hongkong, mainland China, Southeast Asia, Japan and the United States, and most of them are run by people in Taiwan Province Province.

history

Bubble tea originated in Taiwan Province. From 65438 to 0983, Liu, who opened a foam black tea shop Chunshuitang, began to try to make milk tea. At that time, he added fruit, syrup, candied sweet potatoes and rice balls. His milk tea was not popular at first, but after visiting a Japanese TV program, it finally caught the attention of businessmen, and soon foam tea became popular all over Asia in the1990s. In the first half of1990s, it was first included in the menu of chain bubble tea shops, such as "Xiao Xie". Before the popularity of coffee shops in Taiwan Province Province, foam tea shops were popular places for office workers and students to talk about business and get together, so foam tea began to be widely liked by students. Then, in the vicinity of the school, or in areas with dense cram schools (such as Nanyang Street) and night markets, tea vendors gradually appeared. /kloc-in the late 1990s, some manufacturers invented automatic sealing machines, and many new investors appeared, such as Le Le Cup, Leisure Station, Major League, Kuaikeli and so on. , began to use automatic sealing machine to expand the business of chain take-away beverage stores. Since then, take-away bubble tea shops have become the mainstream, and because of the addition of chain stores, businessmen have begun to expand bubble tea to the whole world and become one of the world-famous foods.

At present, Chunshuitang has not obtained the patent right or trademark right of bubble tea, and some people in Taiwan Province Province claim to be the inventors of bubble tea.

brief introduction

The "pearl" of bubble tea is made of sweet potato powder. Before adding the powder to milk tea, it is usually soaked in syrup to ensure that the powder can maintain sweetness in sweet milk tea. It is usually based on black tea, but some stores also provide green tea bubble tea (usually called pearl green milk). At present, Pearl green tea, Pearl black tea and other drinks can also be seen in Taiwan Province Province, or "Pearl" can be used as an option for customers to specify to add to any drink.

You can use bubble tea for both cold and hot drinks, and generally use a straw when drinking. The diameter of the straw used for bubble tea is larger than that used for general tea drinking. You can drink milk tea or suck pearls.

culture

In Taiwan Province Province, the generalized bubble tea shop has replaced the previous bubble black tea shop and become synonymous with tea beverage shops. Usually, the characteristics of general bubble tea shops include dazzling menus, automatic sealing machines and so on. In Chinese mainland and other places, some people even think that the biggest feature of Taiwanese tea is the use of automatic sealing machine for sealing.

Bubble tea shops generally sell drinks, including the following:

* Snow Bubble (only cream, drinks without tea)

* Smoothies (chopped ice cubes, similar to drinks in slurpee).

* Frozen drinks (very popular in central China, similar to smoothies, but with larger ice particles)

In addition to tapioca glutinous rice balls, there are also many stores that add coffee jelly, pudding, fairy grass, konjac and other foods with similar tastes to milk tea.

Materials and production

The early bubble tea in Taiwan Province Province was born in bubble tea shops, and most of them emphasized that milk tea must be fresh. Since the appearance of chain bubble tea, in order to manage the taste and speed up the production, many chain stores have turned to prefabricated milk tea. Most of the milk tea prepared in advance is not mixed with black tea and creamer before opening the store, but is directly provided to the store by the head office in the form of milk tea powder, and water can also be added. In order to make milk tea into the form of milk tea powder, it is necessary to grind black tea directly, so the taste will be different from that of traditional milk tea. If this kind of milk tea is left standing for several hours without drinking, it will be found that the powder is completely precipitated and there is transparent sugar water on it, which proves that the black tea component of the milk tea made in this way is insoluble in water. So some fans insist on drinking bubble tea.

The types of creamer used in milk tea include liquid and powder. Bubble tea in Taiwan Province Province generally uses powdered creamer. Due to the high calorie of powdered creamer, cassava pearls are extremely high in calories (ranging from dozens of calories). Some experts pointed out that a cup of 500cc bubble tea is equivalent to an ordinary ribs lunch, so it is not suitable for people who are committed to losing weight.

name

Generally, powder balls with larger particles are used to make tea, and the diameter after boiling is about 7mm, otherwise the diameter is too small to swallow beads, which is not convenient for swallowing and chewing. However, most merchants of bubble tea will still provide small powder bubble tea, which is the so-called small pearl or mini pearl.

Bubble tea has a special name in the south of Taiwan Province Province, called Boba milk tea, and bubble Chaze refers to the bubble tea with pink balls mentioned above. In fact, in the early years, all of Taiwan Province Province was called bubble tea. Later, southern businessmen called it "Boba" and named it as the special big pink circle of bubble tea, which led to the phenomenon that the names of the north and the south were not unified.

Method for making bubble tea

1. black pearl cooking method: take one kilogram of pearl pills of any color. Add 10 kg of water and boil (first boil the water, then add pearl pills to make balls. You must wait for the hot water to boil before using it, otherwise it will melt into powder immediately. Keep the water rolling over a medium fire and stir with a filter spoon. Time: 15-20 minutes (you can add or subtract time according to your preference, and the longer you cook, the softer it will be). Time's up. Cover the pot and turn off the fire. Stew 15-20 minutes (the longer the stew, the better the elasticity) or cook until all the powder balls are transparent. Time is up. Take out the pearls and rinse them with cold water. In a large bowl, add rice balls and sugar until the pearls are soaked thoroughly and stir well for about 30 minutes.

Boil 500g of water, add 750g of sugar, and stir while adding to get 22oz(638mL) syrup (or directly change it into honey).

2. Make tea bags. Put 60 grams of tea (instant tea is no longer packaged in bags) into 3 kilograms of water and cook it in a stainless steel pot or an ordinary pot (boil the water for more than 90 degrees before putting the tea). Soak in 10 minutes or so -20 minutes to take out the tea bag. The brewed tea leaves are slightly bitter. If they are too bitter, add boiling water to dissolve them. You can decide the brewing time according to your own requirements for tea concentration. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to brew for a long time, because it will lead to excessive tea taste and affect the taste. Iced tea juice in the refrigerator.

3. cold tea.

Put 30g creamer (2 tablespoons), 2 tablespoons fruit powder and 1 tablespoon syrup into a shaker, add 40g hot water and stir well, then stir well with a stirring rod, add 300mL~400m black tea, and then put in 3~4 ice cubes, which is about 2/3 of the volume of the shaker. Shake it quickly for 20 times until all the ice in the shaker is dissolved and let it bubble. Finally, 20g pearls are added. Take a 360ML bubble teacup, pour it into the cup, insert the straw and give it to the customer. If sealing is needed, put the milk tea on the sealing machine, cover the sealing film, and carry out hot pressing sealing.

Note: The ratio of milk tea to fruit powder of bubble tea directly affects the taste and quality of bubble tea.

Too much cream and milk tea powder make the tea taste good and the cost is high. If you reduce the cost, you can add sugar or other flavors and milk powder to it.

The right amount of milk powder plays a finishing role in milk tea, and once the milk powder is excessive, it will make the taste of milk tea a little greasy. Therefore, when putting milk powder, we must pay attention to the dosage. Cutting powder thinks that the heavier the milk flavor, the better it tastes.

Note: the method of making fruity bubble tea is the same as above, just add 2 spoonfuls of fruit powder to the cup. (Depending on the added fruit powder, it can be made into papaya bubble tea, taro bubble tea and so on. )

Boiling method of sugar water: according to the proportion of 1.5kg white sugar and 1kg water, then simmer for 10 minute, then turn off the fire and let it cool. Make good tea

order

The method of cooking rice balls:

1. Be sure to have enough water, otherwise it will be easy to cook.

2. Boil the water before adding the glutinous rice balls, which is the same as Bao jiaozi.

3. Wait until the pink ball floats for the first time and then turn into a small fire, and keep the pink ball floating on the water.

There are two steps in the cooking process:

1) is to stir the dough every three to five minutes to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pot.

2) It is to keep the soup clear and add water at any time so as not to boil the dough.

5. Boil for about 50 minutes, turn off the fire, and stay stuffy for ten or twenty minutes. When you taste it, you can take it out with a colander when you feel that "Xiang Q is elastic and does not pinch raw". Rinse the fished rice noodles with cold boiled water several times: the purpose is to wash away the thick soup, which is not easy to stick together, reduce the temperature and make it more elastic to eat (the reason is the same as making cold noodles).

6. The secret of delicious zongzi:

Add syrup honey to the drained pearls. This step makes the rice balls sweet, and milk tea can easily feel the sweetness when chewing pearl rice balls, without adding too much syrup.

comment

1. Cream powder and syrup must be added before adding ice cubes. It is best to warm black tea, because this is the most suitable melting temperature, so that the milk fragrance and sweetness can fully fill the whole cup of milk tea. If the order is reversed, milk tea will be tasteless! !

2. The number of shakes must be enough, and the freezing point of a cup of milk tea is enough! !

3. First pour out a little milk tea from the small hole, unscrew the cup and pour out the rest, so that the milk tea is not easy to overflow because of unscrewing the cup (the milk tea must be higher than the cup after shaking).
