Choobubbles are really quick and easy to make. When you can
cook pasta, you certainly can cook Choobubbles.

Here is how its done:

Always use a 8:1 ratio, water to Choobubbles.

1. Boil water in a large pot.
2. Add Choobubbles to the BOILING water.
   (Choobubbles would simply dissolve in cold
   or tepid water).
3. Stir initially to prevent Choobubbles from
   sticking to the bottom of the pot.
4. Boil for about 8 minutes with a cover on.
5. Rinse the cooked Choobubbles in cold water and drain out.
6. Cover Choobubbles with brown sugar or honey.

How to store:

Once they have been coated in the sugar syrup they can be stored in a sealed tub for the day, when you want to use them simply pop them in the tea.

NOTE: Different people have different preferences on how their Choobubbles should be cooked. We try to cook them to suit everyone but if they aren't to how you like them try these tips. If you want them softer try cooking them for longer, or if you prefer them chewy then cook them for less time. Here at Chooba we find the ideal consistancy is stightly softer than a gummy bear!

Bubble tea is a tea beverage that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. The term "bubble" refers to the tapioca balls in the drink. These chewy tapioca balls, or "pearls," are consumed along with the beverage through a wide straw.

Bubble tea is extremely popular in Asia, California, and Canada. Bubble tea is especially popular in many East Asian regions such as Taiwan, Brunei, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The correct term for bubble tea is actually "Pearl milk tea" - "Bubble Tea" in Chinese actually refers to a modern method of beverage preparation.

There are two shops that claim to be the first creator of Bubble Tea. One is Liu Han Chie, who worked in Chun Shui Tang teahouse, Taichung City, Taiwan in the early 1980s, and experimented with cold milk tea by adding fruit, syrup, candied yams, and tapioca balls. Although the drink was not popular at first, a Japanese television show generated interest among businessmen. The drink became well-known in most parts of East and Southeast Asia during the 1990s.

An alternative origin is the Hanlin Teahouse in Tainan City, Taiwan, owned by Tu Tsong He. Hanlin Bubble tea is made by adding traditional white fenyuan, which have an appearance of pearls, supposedly resulting in the so-called "pearl tea." Shortly after, Hanlin changed the white fenyuan to the black, as it is today.
