HoneyDew Bubble Tea 蜜瓜珍珠奶茶

Bubble Tea shops are popping up all over the Chinatown in NYC. I understand bubble Tea drink was invented in Taiwan and now it's spread all over the world..Whenever we visit Chinatown,Mishu and hubby always requested Bubble Tea if I said I'm going to get coffee from Chinese coffee shop.On our last visit at Flushing hubby asked for 2 glasses of Bubble Tea without the pearl.He dislike the pearl ,only want the drink..The price for a glass bubble tea is not cheap at all.Some store sell at $3.95 per glass and some store sell at $4.25!! One thing is for certain this drink is addictive.
Bubble Tea drinks are usually cool, refreshing, and a sweet drink with tapioca pearls sitting on the bottom of a clear cup. Sometimes the drink is made with fresh fruits, milk, and crushed ice to create a healthy milk shake. You can also find drinks that are made of powdered flavoring, creamer, water, and crushed ice. And if you like it like the Asians do, the cool drink usually includes a healthy tea, infused by a flavoring. When we was vacation in Montreal,I visited a Asian store in Chinatown.Saw bubble tea material on the store rack.Of course I have to get it!! I wonder if I make my own bubble tea at home would it's the same taste as we bought in the store.Well,the answer is I can open my own Bubble Tea shop now!!!haha!! Hubby said it's good!! if you're Bubble Tea lover,to save $$$ just make your own bubble tea at home!! Viola!!!
