pasitheaLately I've turned into an addict for pearl tea.
Recently I found the market two doors from my office has like 10lb bags of pearls for ~$5.
Tonight I make my own batch of pearl tea.
But this is a lot of pearls and I don't know how long they keep. Anyone else want some or feel up to taste-testing my experiment? I don't have proper straws.

Date: 2006-07-28 08:52 am (UTC)Pearls were good but slightly chewy. Needed to cook them a little longer or with more water. Maybe both. Either way, still pretty decent.
Tea was my downfall. None of my tea is very fresh right now. Used Oolong. It was okay but a bit weak.
Used honey instead of sugar. I liked it, but Stacey wasn't a huge fan.
Needed more ice. Or mmmm. Crushed ice would have been even better.
All in all, for a first try it was pretty good and I have lots of cooked pearls left over in the fridge (and lots more dry uncooked pearls) Not nearly the best pearl tea I've ever had but quite drinkable. :)
Noticed on the bag of dry pearls that the bag makes approximately 100 servings. O_O I like pearl tea a lot but I definitely want to share so it doesn't expire. :) Want me to send some home with Jon next time he's over?
