Well, bubble tea.
Bubble tea is a popular modern drink, originating in 1980s Taiwan.
It comprises of "pearls" of tapioca, or occaisonally aloe vera jelly, in a variety of drinks (but as the name suggests, usually some sort of tea).
The pearls can be bought, semi-dried, from East Asian supermarkets, and boiled brefily, before adding to a drink. Bubble tea is currently very fashionable in many countries around the world, although less so in the UK.
The Vegan is particularly fond of this eastern import, and purchased some of the pearls. We added them to a smoothie of banana, coconut and pineapple. Although not the usual beverage, this proved pretty tasty.
Popular flavours include green tea, coffee, chocolate, the taro root and various fruits. Pictures of our bubble tea to follow.
