I got this bubble tea kit for Christmas, but had been saving it til the weather was a bit warmer as it's nicer as a cold drink (the bubbles in warm drinks are a little too unnerving).
It has everything you need - except the milk, and ice - in the box and is enough to make 4 decently sized drinks.
The instructions tell you how to mix all the bits together, but the QR code also links you to a video that says slightly different things.
It says you can use plant based things too so I used almond milk
It does worry me that they keep saying that it's science
Impressive little kit!
For the Taro version you pop the powder & milk in the blender and give it a zap, and then microwave the little tadpoles
Unfortunately I put it on for a few seconds too long and it popped. Three seconds less and I'd have likely been fine.
I managed to get them all into the pepsi glass
I then added the blended milk mix (with a little blended ice too) and gave it a swirl.
And it worked surprisingly well! The smells were those of the bubble tea shop, and the taro tasted pretty authentic too. Using the non-dairy milk seemed to have not changed a thing and worked really well too.
My complaint with these has always been that it's more of a posh milkshake than a novelty tea - but behold - they say you can add 1/4 of pre-made tea to the mix for a more tea based drink - so for the next set I'll do that and see if it makes a difference.
I'll probably add another review for the tiger stripes one.
