Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Iced matcha latte

    • ethedens on January 15, 2025

      This was pretty good. Not sure about honey at the bottom and it was too much liquid for my glass. 3.25/5

  • Thai iced tea

    • mjes on August 13, 2021

      Note that the seasoning in the tea is quite different than the seasoning in an Indian chai. It is also unlike any Thai tea I have found in Thai grocers. This does make a tea that works well with tapioca balls but I'm not convinced on the vanilla element. My favorite Thai tea uses lemongrass for spicing.

  • Mango lassi

    • Naila.e on September 26, 2023

      I made this with Kefir. I went into it with an open mind and not expecting a traditional lassi at all. Nevertheless I was highly disappointed. I followed the recipe to the letter but the end result was not tasty in my opinion. Didn’t taste like much

  • Roasted banana milk

    • ethedens on April 17, 2025

      The lemon juice makes this weird. 2/5

  • Banana jam

    • ethedens on April 17, 2025

      The lemon juice makes this weird. 2/5

  • Sparkling rose matcha

    • ethedens on January 31, 2025

      This was so good. Light and refreshing. Mayybe not the most appropriate choice for January, but it was still good. 4/5

  • Mango matcha fresca

    • Naila.e on September 26, 2023

      This drink was delicious!! My expectations were at an all time low considering how disappointing the lassi and another drink were. But it was somehow amazing!! So good I had to make it again the next morning

  • Li hing mui pineapple mango coconut drink

    • ethedens on March 02, 2025

      Meh. Would have been good on hot summer day, which it was not. 3.5/5

  • Li hing mui pineapple mango puree

    • ethedens on March 02, 2025

      The puree on its own was very good. 4/5

  • Matcha coffee

Publishers Text

A beautifully photographed and designed cookbook and guide to the cultural phenomenon that is boba, or bubble tea--featuring recipes and reflections from the geniuses behind The Boba Guys tea shops.

Andrew Chau and Bin Chen realized in 2011 that boba—the milk teas and fruit juices laced with chewy tapioca balls from Taiwan that were exploding in popularity in the States—was still made from powders and mixes. No one in the U.S. was making boba with the careful attention it deserved, or using responsible, high-quality ingredients and global, artisanal inspiration. So they founded The Boba Guys, a chic, modern boba tea shop that has now grown to include fourteen locations across the country, bringing bubble tea to the forefront of modern drinks and bridging cultures along the way.

Now, with The Boba Book, the Boba Guys will show fans and novices alike how they can make their (new) favorite drink at home through clear step-by-step guides. Here are the recipes that people line up for—from the classics like Hong Kong Milk Tea, to signatures like the Strawberry Matcha Latte and the coffee-laced Dirty Horchata. For the Boba Guys, boba is Taiwanese, it's Japanese, it's Mexican, it's all that and more—which means it's all-American.
