Bubble

Bubble Tea (also commonly known as ‘boba tea’, ‘boba drink’, ‘pearl tea’, or ‘zhen zhu nai cha’) first originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s. Now, it has become an international drink as its popularity continues to grow worldwide.

You can find it worldwide in various coffee shops, restaurants, and tea shops. It is a one-of-a-kind beverage, which contains tapioca pearls or jelly at the bottom of the cup.

In order to drink it properly, you’ll need a super fat straw to suck up the tapioca pearls. It can be made in a variety of ways: flavored tea, milk tea, ice-blended slush, smoothie, etc.

Snow Fluff in Taiwan The Taiwanese introduced a popular iteration of the shaved

ice, an ice dessert that had been around for many years. The traditional shave ice is made by shaving a block of ice and improved by adding different kinds of toppings.

The toppings can be any of the fruits in season or some dessert items like custard, beans, or even ice cream.

The Taiwanese put a new twist to the shaved ice by reversing the process and creating a flavor-infused ice block. Flavors are added to the water before it is frozen to make an ice block.

The flavor-infused block is shaved to produce soft and thin ribbons of flavored ice to be topped with fruits, nuts, and other assorted sweets.

To make the concoction more flavorful, condensed milk is sprinkled on top of all the ingredients.

The resulting product is a cross between the traditional shaved ice and ice cream. Called or xue hua bing in Chinese, the snow fluff has popped up in the different Taiwanese stores and shops that sell iced desserts and other cold delicacies.

Making Snow Fluff While shaved ice is prepared by grinding or shaving ice and

adding toppings and condensed milk or fruit syrups, snow fluff starts closer to the ice cream.

Different flavorings, such as chocolate or green tea are mixed into a combination of milk and water.

The mixture is then frozen into giant candle-like cylinder block.

The frozen block is then mounted onto the ice shaving machine which makes very thin and silky slices or sheets that form a beautiful layer.

The thin ribbon-like slices are so thin that they immediately melt in the mouth, like cotton candy.

The prepared dessert comes as a pile of colorful snow drizzled with fruit syrup and finished with different toppings that may include red beans, grass jelly or lychee, a favorite fruit in Taiwan.

Other tropical fruits, such as mango, watermelon, strawberry, passion fruit, and cantaloupe are the people’s favorites.

From Taiwan to the Rest of the World

Snow fluff became a crowd-drawer not only in every city of Taiwan but also to major cities around the world.

One will find shops and restaurants selling snow fluff in the Asian hubs of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and other major cities of the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
