GIVE ME THAT BUBBLE TEA!!

Homemade Bubble Tea

I crave a cup of bubble tea every now and then. Ok. The truth is I crave it practically every week. If there was a good bubble tea place in walking distance from my apartment, I would be sitting there writing this blog. One sad part about leaving California to go to college in Rochester, besides leaving my family, was that there wasn’t an amazing bubble tea café I could get to until this year. I’m not talking about the one on RIT’s campus that people are raving about. They never have milk tea, even though they have it on the menu. Plus, the tapioca is very bland. Yummy Garden has the closest thing to good milk tea that I have tasted. It’s not the same as California bubble tea, but it hits the spot when I want some bubble tea.

When I can’t get out to Yummy Garden, I make bubble tea at home. I bought the bubble tea powder from the Asian market. I add some honey syrup, ice and water. Then, I shake it up and drink. It’s pretty good.

However, nothing is as good as the bubble tea from back home. There are many bubble tea cafés in California. My favorite cafés are Eggettes and Quickly. When I go to Eggettes, I get a Banana Oreo Freeze with tapioca. When I go to Quickly, I get Jasmine Milk Tea with tapioca. Oh man. Telling you all about it makes my mouth water. I really want bubble tea right now. Eggettes and Quickly also have good snacks and lunches. My classmates were surprised last year when I said, "I’ve never had a Poptart before." Who would eat a Poptart when you have amazing cafés like Eggettes and Quickly to go to?
