It’s something that’s become woven into my identity over the years, and it’s kind of amazing seeing how boba has blossomed into what it is today, and how it’s been accepted into mainstream culture. Here’s a recipe I created for homemade brown sugar boba milk, so that anyone would be able to try them at home!" - @ingatylam of @buzzfeedtasty⠀ ⠀ Thank you, Inga, for sharing your #RecipeForChange with us! Below are the ingredients and directions. Be sure to tag us when you make your own!⠀ ⠀ INGREDIENTS FOR BOBA:⠀ 2 tbsp dark brown sugar⠀ 2 tbsp water⠀ 6 tbsp tapioca starch + extra for dusting⠀ ⠀ INGREDIENTS FOR BROWN SUGAR SYRUP:⠀ 1/4 cup brown sugar⠀ 2 tbsp water⠀ ⠀ DIRECTIONS:⠀ 1. Combine brown sugar and water in a sauce pan and heat until sugar has melted.⠀ 2. Remove from heat and add 1 tbsp of tapioca starch into brown sugar mixture, stirring continuously. Once dissolved, return to heat and cook until slightly thickened. ⠀ 3. Remove saucepan from heat and add in rest of tapioca starch, mixing until roughly combined⠀ 4. Dust work surface with tapioca flour and roll out dough. Continuously knead dough until smooth and round. Roll dough out into a log shape and cut into 3 sections.⠀ 5. Roll the dough out until roughly 0.5 inch thick and cut into smaller, individual pieces. Roll each piece into a ball shape. Repeat with remaining dough. Work fast for these steps since the dough will become harder and more crumbly as it loses its heat!⠀ 6. Cook boba in boiling water. Once all boba float to the surface, lower heat to low and keep cooking for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and cover with lid, letting boba sit for another 10 - 15 minutes.⠀ 7. Drain boba and rinse with cold, ice water. Melt brown sugar and water in a separate pot and add boba. Cook till syrup has thickened. ⠀ 8. Serve immediately with milk or milk tea!"⠀ ⠀ A post shared by Honoring AAPI Heritage (@makenoisetoday) on May 27, 2020 at 6:05pm PDT Martha C Huang
