*fail*
I should start at the beginning.
I finally found a LARGE Asian foods market in the convenient Kansas City area. I bought all sorts of stuff. I even found a mochi rice cake. Nom nom! And then... what do I spy? Tapioca pearls! I can has BUBBLE TEA! Squee!
I bring home the tapioca pearls. I follow the directions for cooking them while I brew a strong cup of tea so that I can cool it and then add milk and honey and ice. Everything is going so perfectly.
Like an alchemist on the verge of a golden creation, I put my milk and tea mixture into a pre-chilled glass, add the tapioca pearls...
And realize that I have no straws that are big enough to suck up the bubbles.
MADE. OF. FAIL.
I'm going to go drink my tea and eat the bubbles with a spoon... but it's just not the same.
*sigh*
