We have developed a taste for Boba Tea/Milk. Just like more than half the nation and the rest of the world where it is available, I suppose. It is so good it is bad for you😏
It is sweet ✅
It is expensive ✅
It is addictive ✅
Initially it was almost a weekly thing. One of us will have a craving and all of us will get a filling🤦🏽♀️
Since lockdowns, it became less frequent over time, we weaned off - almost.
Then the other day, I went to get some bake stuff and saw these readymade pearls on the shelf. 250 grams for RM3.00
It was the easiest thing to prepare. We boiled the pearls, and once it floated it was cooked. We then placed some Jaggery(which is a kind of unrefined cane sugar) in a pot with half a cup of water, poured in the pearls and let it it simmer and stirred for about 10 minutes (first pic/gif).
And all of us drank it with milk or tea till we had boba spilling out of our ears.
So, if you are a boba lover, be kind to your pocket and know that you can make this in less time than you driving out or Grab’ing it over. What would have cost us something like RM60 for 5(usually the hubs and I share one), cost us about RM15 including milk.
No fancy toppings to add on, but it fixed our boba cravings for sure😊
Thank you for reading,
Till next time, Carpe Diem!
