起源于臺灣的珍珠奶茶，于奶茶中加入煮熟后呈烏黑晶透的粉圓，遂以“珍珠”命名。另可加入布丁、椰果等各式配料，深受大眾喜愛，很快風(fēng)靡全亞洲，甚至傳遍美國。但長期在外喝奶茶，我們免不了擔(dān)心奶精、防腐劑等添加劑，這并不利于我們的身體健康，嘗試自己在家做健康的珍珠奶茶吧！
Unlike many other beverages， this drink is a recent invention， first created in the 1980s in Taiwan. As always， there are a variety of people who claim to have first invented this drink phenomenon， but it soon spread from Taiwan province to other Asian countries， and more recently to the U.S. In 2012， McDonalds started serving Bubble Tea in Germany and Austria， showing how far the fad has spread and how popular this drink is.
It started with a tea base that was sweetened， which included tapioca pearls and perhaps condensed milk， but now there are endless variations. Beyond that， there has been concern over substances in tapioca pearls from Taiwan that shouldn’t be in food， some of which could be cancer-causing. For that reason， you are going to experiment with making your own version at home.
