Description

The iced coffee slushy bubble tea kit makes nine frozen coffee boba drinks. Coffee flavour powder and French vanilla syrup are the two bases; brown sugar, coffee and caramel popping boba and a bag of tapioca pearls are the toppings; three reusable squishy freezer cups and bamboo straws finish the box. No blender. Add your own milk if you like it creamy.

What is in the box

• Coffee flavour powder.
• French vanilla syrup.
• Tapioca pearls.
• Brown sugar popping boba.
• Coffee popping boba.
• Caramel popping boba.
• 3 × reusable squishy slushy cups.
• Bamboo bubble tea straws.
• Step-by-step recipe instructions.

This is the only slush kit with two kinds of boba in it: chewy tapioca pearls, which you boil, and popping boba, which you spoon from the pot. The three popping boba flavours are the coffee-side ones, coloured with plain caramel, none of them fruit. The vanilla syrup takes plain caramel colour too.

Pearls need 25 to 30 minutes in a pan and a rest, so cook them while the cups freeze and use them within four hours. For a frozen fruit drink instead, the Bobaslush and Cocktail kits are the same nine-drink format with fruit syrups and no pearls to boil. With its own cups, it is the coffee drinker’s bubble tea gift.

• Nine frozen drinks, coffee powder or vanilla syrup as the base.
• Both tapioca pearls and popping boba in the box.
• Vegan and gluten free.
• Taiwan-made powder, syrup, pearls and boba; UK-assembled.

Restock the base from coffee and milk tea powders and the pearls from tapioca pearls.

How to use

Mix coffee powder, or the vanilla syrup, with about 270ml of cold water or cold milk in a squishy cup and freeze for 12 to 20 hours. Boil the tapioca pearls for 25 to 30 minutes, rest them off the heat for 15, rinse under cold water and keep them in a little sugar syrup. Squeeze the cup to break the ice into a slush, add the cooked pearls and a spoon of popping boba, and serve with a wide bamboo straw.
