Taiwan, bubble tea is a popular tea-based, milk-flavoured, sweet, non-alcoholic drink. What makes it special is the bouncy, chewy tapioca balls (known as boba or pearls) in the drink that offers another interesting dimension in texture.
Thai Bubble Tea is a beverage made with black tea, sweetened condensed milk, and tapioca pearls. The tea is brewed and then mixed with sweetened condensed milk to create a creamy and sweet flavor. The tapioca pearls are added to the bottom of the cup and then the tea is poured on top, creating a unique and delicious drink. The tapioca pearls in Thai Bubble Tea are the key ingredient that sets this drink apart from other teas. The pearls are made from tapioca starch and have a chewy texture that adds a fun element to the drink. They can be black or white and vary in size. The pearls are cooked in boiling water until they become translucent and soft. They are then rinsed and coated in a syrup to give them a sweet flavor.
Thai green curry with basil was a classic take-me-to-the-temple curry. Patrons would bring green curry with basil and eggplants to offer to the monks at temples. Thai green curry is fiery hot with a hint of sweetness. The curry paste is made with fresh green Thai chili peppers. Some people even add additional whole fresh pepper to the curry before serving. I'll stick with mild green curry, so I made my own curry paste.
