Notes
- Use warm water: Boiling water can scorch the matcha and turn it bitter. 80C/175F is the ideal temperature.
- Whisk matcha thoroughly: It should be thicky, frothy and lump-free.
- Sweeten to taste: In fact, you can tweak the ratios of any element in this matcha boba tea.
- Cook boba fresh: It needs to be consumed in 3-4 hours before becoming tough/chewy.
