One of my good friends works at a very chic local coffee shop.  Think Starbucks but much more space and variety.  One of their most popular drinks is  Bubble Tea.  I had never tried it and wanted to see what all the hype was about so I found a recipe for homemade bubble tea.  I absolutely love Tapioca so the Tapioca balls are so tempting.

Ingredients

¼ cup of flavored syrup or 1 package of powder (about ¼ cup per package)
¼ cup of hot water
¾ cup brewed tea, chilled
2 tablespoons sugar syrup
2 tablespoons tapioca balls, cooked Ice 

Directions:

Shake the first four ingredients in a cocktail shaker.

Bring some water to a boil in a kettle. Measure 2 tablespoons of tapioca balls into a microwave-safe container. Pour boiling water on top of the tapioca balls to cover. Microwave for 1 minute.
Strain the tapioca balls and pour into cup.

Add some ice. Serve with a wide straw and enjoy!
