Since tapioca is naturally grain-free and gluten-free, it can be a suitable substitute for wheat or corn-based products.

For example, it can be used as a flour in baking and cooking, or as a thickener in soups or sauces.

How Bubble Tea is useful

Bubble tea is a source of vitamins, potassium, calcium, iron and other beneficial elements.

The basis of the drink is tea - black, green, ai with jasmine, oolong.

Additives include freshly squeezed juices, coffee, milk, fruit syrups, agar jelly, and pieces of coconut.

A special additive is popping beans.

How to cook tapioca correctly

First, boil a couple of tablespoons of tapioca in water at a high boil for about 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cold water - this will make the balls elastic and you will wash off excess starch.

Next, pour 8 tablespoons of coconut or almond milk over the tapioca, stir, and the pudding is ready.
