Q: What do I need to make bubble tea at home?

A: The basics are: tea (black, green, or oolong), tapioca pearls, a sweetener such as brown sugar syrup, and milk or a dairy-free alternative. You'll also need wide bubble tea straws. Tuk Tuk Mart stocks all of these, including ready-to-use tapioca pearls and pre-made syrups.

Q: How do you cook tapioca pearls for bubble tea?

A: Boil tapioca pearls in a large pot of water for the time shown on the packet — usually 10 to 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain and immediately transfer them into brown sugar syrup while still warm so they absorb the flavour. Cook them fresh each time; they harden quickly if left to cool.

Q: What is the difference between tapioca pearls and popping boba?

A: Tapioca pearls are chewy, dense balls that soak up the flavour of the syrup they are stored in — the classic bubble tea topping. Popping boba are small gel spheres filled with flavoured juice that burst when you bite them. Both are popular, and some drinks include a mix of both.

Q: Can you make bubble tea without a special machine?

A: Yes. You do not need any specialist equipment. A jar or cocktail shaker with a lid works well for mixing. Shake the tea, milk, and ice vigorously to create the frothy texture. Wide straws are the only item that is genuinely hard to substitute — grab a pack when you order your ingredients.

Q: Where can I buy bubble tea ingredients in the UK?

A: Tuk Tuk Mart delivers tapioca pearls, brown sugar syrup, popping boba, bubble tea straws, and a range of ready-to-brew teas across the UK. Browse the full bubble tea range at tuktukmart.co.uk.
