Kawaii Café Bubble Tea: Classic, Fun, and Refreshing Boba Drinks to Make at Home

Gr 5 Up–This bubble tea cookbook features about 50 different recipes for boba/bubble teas, fruit teas, milk teas, specialty drinks, and more from the cofounders of boba shop MILK+T. The book opens with a page about the origin of boba and bubble tea. There are illustrations of the ingredients, equipment, and toppings needed throughout that are brightly colored and cartoonlike. The book starts with a section about boba basics that includes how-to foundations for making each beverage, and the authors also include vignettes with their own personal experience and advice for making these recipes from their years of being bubble tea fans. Recipes include UnBEElievable Wildflower Honey Green Tea, Pink Panda Sip ‘n’ Dips, and Almond Butter Milk Tea. In the back matter there is an index of terms to find pages by ingredient or recipe type. With help from an adult, younger readers could make some of the recipes; but with several steps for each one and the use of hot water along with heavy equipment such as blenders, this is best for older, semi-independent young cooks.
