Qbubble Tea Powder Taro Powder, 2.2 Pound

So this tastes just like the mix they use in the majority of boba shops, I will say the mix already seems like the perfect sweetness to me, but if you like your taro tea on the less sweet kind you may not like it, I typically get normal sweetness at every boba shop I go to and this seems about right. I also do not add tea to it, I believe theres enough tea flavor as is, my go to ratio is below for anyone like me who was curious, will add instructions if you want more tea.I found for me the perfect ratio is 1 cup of milk to 1/4 cup of mix. And to mix you will want to get the milk steamy in a sauce pan over medium heat and then mix with the powder in the contianer of your choice, obviously if its not heat proof maybe mix in a bowl that is and then when cool pour into it. I found whatever liquid your using needs to be hot for it to blend easily.I heard people mix it with 1/4 cup of hot water or 1/4 cup of hot black tea, then pour that in cold milk so they don't have to do dishes or wait for milk to heat up. Also a possibility, like I said earlier I found it already had enough black tea flavor that it was unnecessary. Your own ratios may be vastly different than mine! Expiriment, I hear people put in some half and half or nondairy creamer as well. I'm happy to keep mine simple but don't rest until your happy with it!• 1/2 cup of Qbubble Taro Mix• 1 cup milk• 2 cups of heavy cream• 1/2 cup of sugar (May want to try 1/4 next time)• 1/4 tspn of kosher salt or 1/8 tspn of table salt (salt enhances flavor! Will not be salty trust!)• 1 tspn of vanilla extractHeat Milk in a saucepan and when it starts to release steam add the mix and sugar whisk until fully incorporated. Then remove from heat. Let cool and add the taro milk mix with the rest of the ingredients, whisk until incorporated then keep in fridge until cool enough for your machine.

Best ube. We buy it for our shop! Everyone loves it! Perfect sweetness!

I love Taro💜 so much I was in the tea shop at least 3 times a week asking for the smoothie. This powder tastes very similar to most tea shops! I use 6 tablespoons if I want a large 16 oz cup and eyeball the water. If it's not sweet enough use a teaspoon of honey it won't alter the flavor but compliment it. For a Taro smoothie 5 tablespoons of the mix, 1/2 cup of hot water (mix well) take some ice in a blender add 1-2 tablespoons of condensed milk and then your milk of choice 😋 and blend. It is ADDICTIVE!💜

I read quite a few complaints about the lack of directions. There are no directions because this is a BASE and it's sold commercially. You make your own recipe. If you go to a Bubble Tea shop, they all have their own method for using the powders. This is not an "add water and drink" sort of deal. No shop owner uses their powders like that. Every shop has their own method for making it and that's precisely why there are no directions on the bag.Here are a few pointers and tips....First, Taro Tea is almost always served blended...not on the rocks.... so forget your shaker. Bust out your blender and blend it with ice like a smoothie. Secondly, to the folks suggesting milk...I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but traditional Asian milk tea doesn't have milk. They use non-dairy creamer (i.e. Coffee Mate). There are two main reasons for this: First, Asians suffer from lactose intolerance at a much higher rate than other races and they don't want to make their clientele sick. Second, it's cheaper to use non-dairy creamer than milk in a commercial setting. Yes, you can mix milk in with this powder, but it won't taste like the bubble tea you get at your local bubble tea shop. As appalling as it may be to long-time drinkers of Bubble Tea, that's Coffee Mate you've been drinking at your high-end Bubble tea shop all these years. That's not a bad thing, either....that non-dairy creamer plays a critical role in getting your home-made Taro tea tasting like the stuff you pay $5.00 a cup for at the shop. Bottom line: you will not achieve the same taste as a commercial bubble tea shop using real milk.To get the perfect Taro tea, you're going to have to do some experimentation because no two shops use the same proportions and I'm certain your local bubble tea shop proprietor isn't going to give away their secrets. What one person expects may not be what another does. So know what the powder is and experiment. You might be able to make it even better than you're used to.Know that this is a 3-in-1 powder that contains creamer, tea powder, and sugar. It is just like the powders used in professional shops. In fact, Q Bubble sells this very formula commercially. I see no need for additional sugar beyond what's in the powder, particularly if you're soaking your boba in simple syrup before putting them in the cup. The sweetness is just right to my taste, but some shops to add sugar or fructose so if it's not sweet enough, add to taste.I make mine like this (for a 16 oz cup). I use 4 oz of Ice, 10 oz of water, 1/3 C Taro Powder, 2 tbsp Coffee Mate. Blend well, serve with Boba soaked in simple syrup. It comes out fine for me. More powder/less water = stronger. More coffee mate = creamier. You can alter your recipe for size but there's no recipe that's going to satisfy every taste.Having used many powders I can say that this taro powder is as good as any on the market.
