Although there are dozens of different variations, at its core it is a combination of tea, milk and the 'bubbles', which are essentially little balls made of anything from tapioca to fruit jelly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e So where did it all start?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The roots of bubble tea date back to the 1940s.\u003cbr\u003e After working as a mixologist at an izakaya in Taiwan under Japanese rule during World War II, in 1949 Chang Fan Shu opened a tea shop selling signature shou yao (hand-whipped) tea made with shakers.\u003cbr\u003e The result was a rich, silky iced tea with fine air bubbles on top, called foam tea in Taiwan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"filter: alpha(opacity=100,finishopacity=0,style=3);\" width=\"100%\" color=\"#D3D3D3\" size=\"3\" data-mce-style=\"filter: alpha(opacity=100,finishopacity=0,style=3);\"\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003e5 Secrets of Authentic Taiwanese Boiled Pearls：\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The ratio of tapioca to water is 1:6～1:8.
