Drink or dessert? Fad or flavoursome? With as many flavours as there are teas and fruits, Bubble Tea has confused and delighted people since its conception. While it's divided opinion, the Taiwanese treat has now solidified itself as a firm favourite and a global phenomenon - it's here to stay! Whether you want to learn more about the origins of this moreish milk drink, what the "bubbles" refer to (clue: it's not the tapioca pearls...), or get inspiration of how to make your own at home, this little book is the Bubble Tea Bible. Sample content:Since the drink's conception, 380 bubble tea bars have opened every year on average. The bubble tea we recognise today was invented when a bored employee of a bubble tea shop poured her tapioca dessert - fen yuan - into her iced tea! Celebrating the wonderful uniqueness of this quirky drink, take a sip out of this refreshing book of facts, fun and fruity flavours!
