Summary from Goodreads.
I love bubble tea. It is my goto drink when I am out and about, and I have even experimented with making my own at home from scratch. If you also are interested in making some bubble tea at home then Kawaii Café Bubble Tea is here to hold your hand and take you through the process.
This recipe book has 7 distinct sections: Introduction and the origin of bubble tea; the basic of boba; fruit teas; milk teas; speciality drinks; sip’n’dips; and toppings. The first section provides a background in what bubble tea is and where it is from. After that every section details different ways to make you bubble tea. In these sections you will find numerous ways to make different drinks, whether you decide to include the boba into them or not is your choice!
The recipes that I cannot wait to make are the Ladybug (Watermelon & Strawberry Black Tea), the Babybug (Watermelon and Strawberry Refresher), the classic Black Milk Tea, The Piglet (Strawberry Coconut Milk), and The Evelyn (Strawberry Milk Tea). Honestly picking out which drinks I am going to make is the hardest part of this book! So many combinations look very enticing I have no idea where to start.
This recipe book also includes illustrations for each of the drinks, and also the relevant equipment at the beginning of the book. Every drink has an illustration beside it to give you an idea of what the drink will look like, which is a must-have for me. Also, by using an illustration instead of a picture doesn’t give you unrealistic expectations as to how your drink will end up looking. This is very good, epically since you can ass so many different topping to bubble tea that you would need countless images to show all the options available to you!
A very well laid out and easy to follow recipe book that I will certainly be using when I feel like I want some bubble tea at home.
