Maybe “I’m even more disappointed in that cup of boba tea than my parents when I get a B on my test” is a slightly better way to make the sentence clearer? No malicious intent, just wanna clear up confusion
Just in case anyone already bought this: try to be as gentle as possible and break the tapioca apart. It looks like they're made from real tapioca starch so they're very crumbly. Make sure the water is at a rolling boil, if the water is warm or not boiling, they will fall apart also give it like 20 seconds before you stir otherwise they can also fall apart.
yes this!!! the first time i tried to cook tapioca pearls myself, i also made the same mistake of putting the pearls before the water boiled so it just dissolved the pearls and instead made the water very thick.
Thank you for actually explaining that cause now I know I'd actually like it if I tried it. She's a great example who doesn't say if it's good or bad and why
This was the entire point of making this video with all of the text remarks throughout the video showing how crap it is. “I made the Walmart bubble tea gift set so your don’t have to” I’m not sure how much more clear I need to make it that this is literal trash and not real bubble tea. 🤷♀️
@@whimsicalwwoman269 you just made some goofy faces. Sorry for me it was just you showing you making it and one sip and a face a kid would make that could mean it's good of bad. Sorry don't get mad at me for seeing it as that way but that's how I did. Now if you would of hurry and spit it out or gagged I wouldn't had said anything or straight up said this is a hard no I wouldn't had said anything.
This is weird cuz my friend got me this exact bubble tea from walmart and I thought it wouldn't taste good so I ended up just throwing it away but I kept the cup and metal straw and make my iced coffees in it 😅 I felt bad but now I'm glad I threw it away ..sorry 😫😫😫😫😫
Exactly!! Even buying the boba from the Asian Market (the ones where you boil yourself and everything) is much more efficient and better than this crap.
Lmfao i work at Walmart too and I honestly think it has partly to do with how she made it she added the boba before it was fully boiling I bought six of these and mine wasn’t the best but it definitely wasn’t rabbit shit
Guys I work at a Boba shop, so ill give you the recipe we use to make tapioca Boil the tapioca for 20 mins, and then let it sit for 10mins. We usually boil in bulk for 30 mins and sit 30 mins, but I'm expecting you'll make less lol. Rinse the boba in cold water afterwards After that, measure 1 liter of sugar and mix that liter of sugar with 1 and a half liters of nearly boiling water (196°F to be exact). Add honey to taste, but to be safe add 1/4 cup of honey. This is the boba sauce that allows the tapioca pearls to taste sweet. Refrigerate the sauce until cold. Mix the tapioca pearls into this sauce for 10-20 mins depending on your taste. Tapioca pearls are usually good until the next day, so make sure to finish them all before the texture becomes too chewy and mushy. Edit: One more thing. While boiling the tapioca, make sure to stir it every 5 or 10 mins to keep it from sticking together.
the instructions tell you to boil for 20 minutes. the same thing happened to mine and when i opened mine up the “tapioca” was crushed to powder so it just made a jello like sludge.
All boba cooks for 20min Some also require you to leave it in the hot liquid off the heat to finish for 20min more. So, she was close to doing it right. I would have made sure the water was actually boiling before adding the pearls though, bc the time it takes the water to heat up also counts toward the cook time. Boiling first, and adding the pearls individually, would also make them less like to break apart, as the boiling water sets the exterior first
You're supposed to put the pearls in boiling water, not put it in and wait for it to boil cause it breaks down the tapioca. Also, it depends on brands I think but with the one we use, 30mins cooking time and another 30min seeping time then rinsing keeps it good and chewy. After that, we cook it some more with brown sugar. :>
Ahhh. Welcome everyone in the comments section who has nothing helpful to say. Clearly this video is me showing how terrible the bubble tea kit from Walmart was...sorry some of you guys didn’t catch on. I know how to make the real deal, but I thought it would be fun to see the Walmart kit version. I make my videos for fun, not anyone’s unwanted opinions. Y’all have a nice day. I swear every time my videos go viral I only have people go to the comments to be asholes to me. Bless yalls hearts.
Although some people have fun things to say, they can be rude! I could relate so much to this video, today I bought a soda pop can with 5 different flavors (Regular, brown sugar, matcha, Thai, and Taro) and poorer them all down the drain. The boba in it was CHEWY.
I’m seeing people comment about their homemade bubble tea and I always buy pre-made ones at Coffee/ice cream shops in my town. I really didn’t know so many people made bubble tea at home 😂
I’m gonna buy this for this person I don’t like and that uses boba and mochi as an aesthetic for their birthday😀 I swear if they like it im done with life- PLSS
She also made the bobo wrong.. she didn't wait until the water started biking before putting those in there which caused them to look like that..I wonder if it's any good made right lol
I've had this before: the tea is okay, but it doesn't taste like tea. Kinda like sugar water. The bobas were okay too, but they smell AWFUL while they're cooking, and they're flavorless. The cup is adorable though.
Fun fact. They changed the boba. Its now already made all you have to do is the making tea part. I have tasted it. Its really good. I think they decided to change it for this reason. Lucky they fixed it. Its just like real boba now. But that might just be were I am. I cant say that every other store has the better version. 😅
I got this one time. The milk tea was really really good, but the tapioca pearls were horrible even though I followed directions. Now the cup sits as a display piece on my bookshelf
You need boil water first so the boba doesn't stick together. Once finished, rinse and drain boba. Boil brown sugar and water in a separate pot. Cool down brown sugar water mixture into bowl and place boba into the mixture. Follow tea instruction for glass as instructed. Lastly, pour the boba from bowl into glass and mix with straw. Ice or none, it's time to enjoy! 😉
The boba did not come out right because your are supposed to drop it in water once it starts to boil. The reason for that is because the boba is made of gelatin - it is sensitive to hot temperature that it turns to paste. To minimize or prevent this from happening, you have to put the raw boba in boiling water not while you are heating the water. If you put the boba while heating the water, it cooks and dissolves with the water.
When you boil the boba, the water need to be boiling before adding the boba to the pot. Then boil it according to time from the recipe (It’s different depending on brands) , turn off the stove then cover the pot with the lid for 15-20 minutes (approximately the same time as when you boiled it, depend on brands again). Take boba out and wash it with cold water, rinse off those ugly surplus slimy thing from boba. That’s it.
