Kumquat Bubble Milk Tea

Kumquat Bubble Tea

Kumquat bubble tea has a sour tangy flavor to it, with some sweetness. Kumquats look like small egg shaped tangerines, with an inside that looks like that of an orange. Unlike oranges and tangerines bitter tasting peels that are often disposed of, the kumquat fruits' layer is sweet. Kumquats are eaten whole to get the full flavor of the sour and sweetness.

If you're making a bubble tea at home from the actual fruit, rather than the syrup provided here, it should be kept in mind that the peels contain the sweet flavor. The juice is the tart part. Here is the syrup for making the kumquat boba drink at home, or for your boba shop as a barista:

2 to 3 tablespoons of syrup per 16 ounces of fluid for the boba drink. It can be used as a topping for shaved ice, icecream, and other desserts. The syrup can be mixed into coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, whole milk, water, or other juices to create your own mix. Of course, it can be used for making boba smoothies and milkshakes too.

Kumquats contain vitamin A, C, calcium, and potassium. It also contains fibers to help get the digestive system moving.
