Bubble Tea! タピオカティー!

Who hasn't heard of Bubble Tea yet? Also known as Pearl Tea. It's an asian drink that is very popular, especially in summer. It's usually made with tea and large tapioca or jellies. You can make literally hundreds of bubble teas using different flavors, milk or tea, tapioca or jellies. My favorite is a mango bubble tea with lychee flavored jellies.

I won't get into the history of it. For that you can check out a few sites like the wiki or this one. The second site listed, is a site that you can order do-it-yourself kits. I've never done my own bubble teas simply because I'm not too sure if I can and because I prefer fresh fruits over powdered. I heard that cooking the tapioca is the hardest part.
