Boba Tea / Bubble Tea
Defintion of Boba Tea - Boba literally means the "dominatrix of balls" in the Chinese language, connoting the image of a busty woman. In the name "pearl milk tea," the "pearls" refers to the black gummy balls made of tapioca which sit in the mixture of sweetened ice tea and milk and possibly other flavorings. The balls are generally about 1 cm in diameter and are sucked through a wide straw along with the drink, providing something to chew on between sips. In many cases, when ordering at the counter or a sit-down restaurant, customers are given the option whether they want "boba" in their beverages.
The recipes for boba tea vary and so does the taste, but usually flavouring is added to hot black or green tea which is then shaken in a martini shaker with ice until chilled. Aficionados shop around for their favorite vendors.
Instead of eating the chewy balls, some adolescents like to blow them out from the straw to shoot at targets or at each other.
Tapioca
Defintion of Tapioca - (tap-eee-OH-kuh) - Tapioca in its fresh form is called "Yuca," but Yuca is another name for what is the root of the cassava plant. To confuse things further, this root is also known as "manioc," "mandioca," and in some instance "tapioca". Raw it has a bland and sticky quality and is used in cooking the way you would a potato (it can be boiled, mashed, fried, etc.). Cassava is a bushy plant producing tubers, the starchy underground stem of the plant, that have fed the indigenous people of the Americas for millennia and much of Africa since the 17th century. Cassava ranks sixth among crops in global production. Cassava was introduced to Africa by the Portuguese more than 300 years ago and today is the primary carbohydrate source in sub-Saharan Africa.
