Description

The coffee shop bubble tea kit makes twelve iced coffee bubble teas out of one box, with the cups and the wide straws in it. Coffee flavour powder does the work, so there is no machine to buy and nothing to grind.

One part coffee powder to twelve parts hot water or milk gives you the base. Cool it right down over ice, then drop in the toppings. Black tapioca pearls give the chew and the three 100g pots of popping boba give the burst, and that is the part that makes a drink from this box different from an iced latte. Speciality tea bags are in there as well, for anyone who wants a brewed tea base under the coffee.

Be clear on what it is: a coffee flavour base, not brewed espresso, so it is a coffee shop style drink rather than a morning cup. Milk is not in the box, so add your own dairy or a milk alternative. The pearls need 25 to 30 minutes in a pan and the popping boba needs nothing at all. For the frozen version of the same idea, the iced coffee slush kit does it in a squeeze cup.

How to use

Mix 1 part coffee powder to 12 parts hot water or milk and stir until smooth, then cool over ice. Boil the tapioca pearls 25 to 30 minutes, rest 15 off the heat, rinse cold and soak in syrup. Pour the coffee over the pearls, add popping boba, and serve with a wide straw. Steep a speciality tea bag in 150 to 200ml of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, cool it, and use it in place of some of the water if you want a tea base under the coffee. Use cooked pearls within 4 hours.

Allergens

The coffee flavour syrups and powders in this box are not named on the contents list and we hold no ingredient list for them, so read the pack of every component before serving anyone with an allergy. The tapioca pearls declare none of the 14 allergens. The popping boba pots are not named either: coffee-side pots carry the supplier precautionary line May contain traces of Mango, Milk, and Coconut (produced on shared equipment). and a fruit pot would carry May contain traces of Mango and Coconut (produced on shared equipment). together with E102, E110 or E129 depending on flavour: may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.

Storage

Store all kit components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Check individual packaging for best-before dates. Refrigerate popping boba after opening and consume within 5 days. Cook tapioca pearls fresh and serve within 4 hours.
