It's not just Bubble Tea!

It's here, it's there, it's everywhere!

It's official. Bubble Tea is catching the attention of many, and although the new article in Time Out London claims that Bubble Tea is not yet mainstream we believe it's getting so close that it's only a matter of time before everyone will be able to step out of their office and walk to their nearest Bubble Tea shop (OMG I can't wait!). 


The question is, are you ready?

Are you going to be part of this leading trend or are you going to follow the pack once it starts spreading? 

Don't wait another minute and get into the amazing world of Bubble Tea! 

And do not forget, this is not only a drink, it's a lifestyle, a passion and an industry that goes well beyond a fat straw and delicious tapioca! 

Check out the article in Time Out London, and be sure to contact us with any questions! We can help you achieve your Bubble Tea and dessert goals!

Bubble Tea Training: do I need to?


Can you teach me how to make Bubble Tea? 

The question is simple, but the answer is not. Not for us anyway.
Other companies will give you recipes and the basic know hows and claim that that is all you need. While in some cases this is true, the majority of times this is not quite enough.
You need more. You need the written knowledge, the little tricks, and a lot more guidance.


BUT WHY?!
Well, the answer to that is easy. You need to think about what you are trying to achieve.

Cooking at home with a book is straightforward. All you really worry about is making your family happy. That's it. You buy the ingredients, follow the instructions, hope for the best, if they like it, great! You can make it again. If they don't? No problem, you don't do it again. No harm done! (except maybe a very unhappy child that refuses to eat and forces you to take them to Micky D's!)

But we are talking about your business here. You have many tastes to cater to. Age groups, nationalities, backgrounds and preferences. You need to get it right, because if you don't, you will not make money. Pretty scary isn't it?

But it doesn't need to be. That's why we are here!

We have had a passion for Bubble Tea for over a decade and enough experience in the food industry, both in the fast food environment and in award winning restaurants to understand what you need and how you can make the most of your business.

So, don't be fooled by easy and cheap know hows! We can help you through the various essential stages until you feel confident and ready to make your own menu decisions not only as you start but as your business evolves and grows, hopefully even into franchises!

Don't wait another minute and contact us to get started on your future!
And remember, a recipe for success is made up of a lot more than just a few cooking steps.

Festive Bubble Warm Recipes


I opened the window yesterday... and there it was. The smell. The great spicy orchard smell of the autumn ending and winter approaching. But the smell was coming from the market down the street. That's too far. I need it closer . Closer to my building pile of Christmas presents in the cupboard, ready to be wrapped in the coming weeks. 

Why not have the smell at your own business? Or home? Close.. within reach, these recipes will hopefully help you, don't forget to check out our website for our winter sale! Bubbleteahousecompany.com




For a Spiced Apple Cider, you will need:

250ml Apple Syrup
150ml Yellow Peach Syrup
30ml Kumquat Syrup
100ml Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup

For a Fruity Hot Bubble Punch you will need:

250ml Yellow Peach Syrup
150ml Tutti Frutti Syrup
30ml Orange Syrup
100ml Apple Syrup

For a Twisted Bubble Plum Punch you will need

250ml Plum Syrup
150ml Apple Syrup
30ml Sugar-free Caramel Syrup
100ml White Peach Syrup

For all the fruit punches/ciders
12L Cooking Pot
10L Boiling Water
12L Hot Tea Urn
30ml Fructose (optional)
3 Cinnamon Sticks
2 Star Anise
1 Fresh Apple
1 Fresh Mandarin Orange 

Serves:

27X 360ml Cup

Instructions:

1. In a large cooking pot, at high heat, place the boiling water, the syrups and fructose and stir. When the water comes to a boil, turn the heat to low. 

2. Add the spices and fresh fruit (cut into pieces, de-seeded) and stir. 

3. Leave to simmer for 1hr. 

3. Turn off the heat and place in a 12L Hot Water urn. 

4. Serve.

Note:

By adding the fructose, you will make your drink sweeter than it normally would be. When you are ready to serve, only fill 3/4 of your cup, add boiling water and this will bring back the proper temperature to your drink. 

Best Option: To have the perfect cider, continue simmering until serving. If you do this, there is no need to add fructose. 

TURBOBBLE!

Don't forget that anything can turn into a Bubble Tea! Add warm tapioca pearls to your drink, but just be careful because they will be hot.

To avoid any mishaps, if you wish to add pearls to your drink, keep your cider in a 12L container. This will ensure that your cider is not dangerously hot when you serve it with the Tapioca Pearls. But still remain cautious, specially with children.

Machines, Machines, Machines

Getting all the attention this week: Our great selection of specialized Bubble Tea equipment!


Why are they so special?
To begin with, they are unique to our industry, but they can be used by other trades.
They look... complicated!
Quite the opposite. They have been built to be a part of the fast paced food industry. One button does all at the work so you don't have to!
Do they have any certification?
They do! They are all CE safety certified.
What if I'm buying in Europe, do they come with a converter?
Even better than that, you can purchase our machines (except our blender) with either UK or EU plugs!
What about their warranty?
1 Year manufacturers warranty is in place for our range of equipment.
What if they break?
These things happen! We don't want you to stress out, and we will do everything we can to either assist you either with a quick fix or with a more serious problem.
For a Bubble Tea shop, do I need all of them?
Yes.
Our sealing machine is an absolute must, it is part of the charm and attractive nature of Bubble Tea.
The fructose dispenser is a great tool to regulate sugar content, control waste and speed production.
Many Bubble Tea shops opt to have only blenders instead of a shaking machine and a blender. But please please, do not make this mistake! At Bubble Tea House Company we have spent extensive hours researching the effect of Blenders vs. Shaking Machines and we have discovered that indeed the flavour is affected when you use a blender instead of a shaking machine! So... for the longevity of your business and customer satisfaction, we strongly suggest that if your Bubble Tea is meant to be shaken, shake it! Either by hand or by machine but DO NOT use a commercial blender!
The blender is great for being able to do milkshakes and slushy drinks which are essential if you are to have a diversified menu ready to attract a wide array of customers.

That is all for now... but there is so much more to machines! They are fabulous, attractive, unique, easy to use and very well priced!

Don't forget, our prices include VAT. If you are VAT registered the listed prices drop by 20%!
