Kiwi Bubble Tea - How to Make it & Flavors to Pair With

Kiwi Bubble Tea

The kiwi bubble tea is one of my personal favorite boba flavors. The flavor is sweet, with a light tartness to it. The fruit itself has a brown, furry layer covering a beautiful inward green juicy kiwi flesh. The green color is what is seen on the inside for majority of the fruit, with a pure white that resides in the middle, where most of the black seeds also reside.

The fruits' known orientation is from China, where it spread from there to New Zealand overtime, according to wiki. The outer layer of the kiwi fruit is often peeled and disposed of, but some eat it whole. The skin tastes like apple skin, but of course the outer layer is more thick and tough. According to health experts, eating the outer layer is more healthy than eating the inner flesh. Kiwis contain many nutrients, one of them being vitamin C; along with plenty of fibers from the skin.

The syrup to make the kiwi bubble tea is located here:

 

2 to 4 tablespoons per 16 ounces of fluid. The syrup for the bubble tea contains vitamins A and C from the kiwi juice. This can be mixed with water, coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, whole milk, milkshakes, and smoothies.
