    Just decided to make myself one this morning, I didnt use the pro ingredients, but it still tasted pretty good.

    I used the
    30% Coffee
    70% Milk Tea method.

    Anyone else like this drink or has few pointers for making them?

    i made it when i was at work, wasnt the proper way lol just had to make do with what was available at work hehe
    i made the tea first an left it for a couple mins so that the flavour comes out first , an then adding some filter coffee before adding milk an sugar...
    tasted good to me (Y)

    as for the ratio of each component, the tea was just over half a cup, an then the coffee was about 1/4, the milk varies on the person..

    also, if making the 'ice version' which is literally chucking in some ice, then dont put so much water in when making the tea, cos when the ice melts, it will make up for the 'less water'

    i think it takes a bit of trial an error to make the perfect cuppa but happy experimenting ;)

    Mmmm.. I don't drink that stuff coz I hate coffee even this drink. I'm pretty sensitive to that taste.

    But then I have experimented with the drink before coz my mum and boyfriend likes the stuff.
    Usually I just put about 1 teaspoon of coffee thing, then a teabag. Then pour the hot water but been cooled from boiling point for about 10 minutes, then I just leave it there so the taste of the tea comes out (of course stir as well so coffee can mix in too!) Add the milk, then take the teabag out whilst squeezing out the juice on the side so the tea taste is still there.

    Sugar is optional too :p

    using condensed milk is the same as making the bubble milk tea but without the pearls...

    think its an acquired taste, cos it makes the drink smell different lol an thicker as well...so yea a bit richer

    Bubble milk tea w/o pearls loses the enjoyment
