Bubble Tea & Happy New Year

[halavana]

Finally, I've found a recipe for bubble tea that I can actually manage. Of course, the translation on the label of the tapioca balls has lost something in the translation. As follows:

1. Use medium high heat to boil water (water quantity is about six times of Balls).
2. After water boiling up, put balls in, stir and cover pot to cook 30 minutes.
3. Cease fire, stay as it is for about 20 minutes.
4. Drain off hot water. Rinse cold water, stir. Scoop up cooled balls, mix a little sugar to serve with drinks.

I'm not exactly sure how to cease fire in regard to cooking. Also I'm not quite sure how to rinse cold water. Seems rather redundant. But then, it's just a translation and we can figure it out, right? The idea behind the tea is to stay awake until the clock switches over to 2008.

Happy New Year (((flist)))

LOL! At least your bubble tea will be peaceful after they call the cease fire. *giggle*

After the second try, I think I got it right. Missed that part about letting it "stay as is for about 20 minutes" the first time. Bubbles were a bit grainy. Care to try it sometime?

Yes. I am interested to taste this memory of your trip to Taiwan.

(((HaL))) just got Clinton out of hospital. He had a bloodclot in his leg. He's home resting now, out of danger but still on bed-rest. I'm tired as all get-out now.

Hope your Year has been good so far! :-)

Blood clot in leg. Scary. Have they told him to keep moving his legs every once in a while once the clot was dissolved?
