Boba Milk Tea has taken the world by storm, and as a lover of all things giant, I decided to create a 100-pound version of this beloved drink. This adventure was both challenging and rewarding, and I’m excited to share the process with you.
Ingredients and Preparation
Creating this giant Boba Milk Tea required meticulous planning and a lot of ingredients:
- 22 liters of brewed black tea
- Six gallons of milk
- 500 tea bags
- Thousands of homemade boba pearls
The key to making great boba pearls lies in the technique. First, I mixed sugar with water and cooked it until the sugar dissolved. The consistency of the mixture is crucial; it should resemble a thick mochi sauce. After a few failed attempts, I managed to get it right, thanks to my friend Inka’s guidance.
Making the Boba Pearls
Rolling out the dough and forming thousands of boba pearls was time-consuming, but the result was worth it. The texture of the boba pearls, described as “qq” in Taiwanese, was perfect—chewy with a slight bounce. Here’s how you can do it:
- Prepare the Dough: Mix sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add starch, stirring until it forms a paste.
- Roll the Dough: Shape the dough into small balls, ensuring each is uniform in size.
- Cook the Pearls: Boil the pearls until they rise to the surface, then transfer them to ice water to achieve the desired texture.
Assembling the Giant Boba Milk Tea
After hours of preparation, it was time to assemble the giant Boba Milk Tea. I used a vase typically found in hotel lobbies, measuring 10 inches in diameter and 30 inches tall, as the boba glass. The tea and boba pearls were carefully layered, and brown sugar syrup was added for that authentic boba tea flavor.
Taste Test and Final Thoughts
The final product was a sight to behold and tasted amazing. The balance of tea, milk, and boba was perfect. While I couldn’t share it with friends due to the current situation, making this giant Boba Milk Tea was a fun and memorable experience.
Tips for Making Your Own Boba Milk Tea
- Brew Strong Tea: Use high-quality black tea bags for a rich and robust flavor.
- Perfect the Boba Pearls: Practice makes perfect. Ensure the dough consistency is right for chewy boba pearls.
- Brown Sugar Syrup: Don’t skip the brown sugar syrup; it adds a delightful sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
