Honeydew Bubble Milk Tea

Honeydew Bubble Tea

Honeydew bubble tea is one of the top 10 boba flavors, with a sweet taste and aroma that varies depending on the amount of mix used, and the fruit itself. It is made from the honeydew melon, which only resembles the watermelon in shape and skin texture. The outer layer of the honeydew melon is firm, but softens when it is ripe. The color becomes darker as well, finishing with a tan yellow or vibrant green.

The sweetness of the fruit has been compared to the taste of cotton candy, to a mild sweetness. Not every honeydew is the same, and the inner meat is firm and creamy opon consumption. However, if the fruit hasn't matured, then the inside will not be tender. Tender meat and a softer shell, is the sign of a finished product. The smell of honeydew is sweet, but if it isn't ripe for the picking, its aroma is lacking. This is another way to tell if a honeydew is ready or not.

The sweetness of this mix isn't too much, and it is loved by home boba baristas, as the taste is "just like the boba shops". This has been said in similar ways from people dying to get their hands on this flavor from different parts of the United States. This is from their experience from multiple restaurants, so obviously this is authentically good. Of course, this is a snag if you own a boba/coffee shop. The customers will love it. 3 to 4 tablespoons is recommended for every 16 ounces.
