I'm frugal and I love bubble tea. In the store, $8 a cup. And for a family of four, that's $32 before taxes. I can make my own for only $1.25 a glass. No plastic cup or straw, creating less waste in the process. When I have time, I make tapioca pearls from scratch, but today I'm busy, so instant boba pearls is a lifesaver. Cook them up for five minutes, toss in some brown sugar and you're set. The best part is you can customize your tea base. Today I'm making some Thai tea, but use whatever you like. It's time to assemble the whole drink. I don't add any sugar because there's sugar already in the pearls. Take your drink to the park for the most beautiful, practically free date with a relaxing view of nature. What's your favorite to make at home instead of buying out?
