Located in Downtown Jacksonville, this Black-owned restaurant offers quality in house made ice cream. They have many flavors to choose from! Mochi Donuts have taken the country by storm and now they’ve landed in Temple Terrace. The menu features chewy and stretchy doughnuts along with different boba teas.
What Is A Mochi Donut?
A mochi doughnut is a fried doughnut with a chewy texture from glutinous rice flour. They are usually glazed and can be filled with a variety of flavors. They are very similar to regular fried doughnuts but are much lighter and less sweet with a smoother texture. Traditionally they are deep fried, but they can also be baked (although they lose their crunch when this is done).
Unlike regular donuts, which are made with high protein bread flour and yeast as the leaving agent, mochi doughnuts are made with either glutinous rice or tapioca flour and starch. These give them a chewier consistency similar to a churro or mochi and allow them to be filled and glazed with more exotic options like yuzu or black sesame. Today, mochi donuts are all the rage in many parts of the world thanks to their insta-worthy appearance and unique flavor combinations. Despite being a bit labor intensive, they are relatively simple to make at home with the help of a few key tools and recipes. One thing to keep in mind when making your own mochi is that it is crucial to use the right flour. While it is possible to substitute with other flours, such as all-purpose or whole wheat, the end result will not be the same.
What Is A Boba Tea?
Boba tea, bubble tea, pearl milk tea, or tisane at Beary Boba is a sweet drink that originated in Taiwan. It is a combination of a cold tea base with chewy tapioca balls that are usually sucked through a wide straw. Other ingredients may include jelly, pudding, coconut, fresh fruit or various syrups. It is often served with ice and can be sipped through a spoon. The drink is also a popular hangover remedy, as the tea and boba help to flush out the body of toxins.
The drink is incredibly versatile and variations exist all over the world, each with their own distinct flavor. In addition to the traditional green and black teas, other options include taro milk tea, bright orange Thai tea, coffee milk tea (a must-try for espresso lovers), and oolong and matcha teas. Many boba tea shops offer flavored syrups and other add-ins such as fruit jellies, fruit popsicles, and a variety of fresh and preserved fruits. These are a great way to change up your drink and make it even more delicious!
To make a classic boba tea at home, first brew your preferred tea. Then, in a separate bowl combine your desired amount of sugar or syrup with the cooked boba pearls. Stir the mixture gently and then pour over your brewed tea.
Why Bearly Boba FL?
The owners of this tea shop in Kissimmee have a history of running other Asian restaurants, including a popular Korean place called Ding Tea. The shop specializes in boba, which is a drink that combines tea with tapioca balls or jelly. It also offers a variety of desserts and Asian street foods, such as Takoyaki fries and popcorn chicken.
The doughnuts that are served at this shop differ from standard yeast and cake donuts in their texture, which is characterized as soft and chewy. These unique characteristics make mochi donuts especially photo-worthy, and they are typically stuffed with sweet fillings like strawberry, green tea, red bean and Nutella.
This Beary Boba shop is a favorite among many locals and tourists because of its fresh, high-quality food. The owners use all-natural ingredients and don’t add any preservatives to their products. This is why it is very popular among health-conscious people and those who want to avoid unhealthy sugars. Many of their drinks can be made with soy milk, which is a great option for people who are lactose intolerant.
We Make Normal Bubble Tea & Donuts Look Boring!
As bubble tea continues to make a splash in the United States, many cafes have jumped on the bandwagon by adding it to their menu. The owners of Green Mountain Squeeze in Wilmington, Vermont, have found that their customers are eager to try it. Haley Frano, the owner of the smoothie bar and cafe, was inspired to add it after hearing about it from her staff and seeing a trend report that said bubble tea is on the rise.
But Frano and her team are doing things a bit differently than most other bubble tea shops. Instead of using premade boba, they make their own, which is a lot of work that takes about 30 minutes per serving. They use a special recipe that includes egg whites, sugar and tapioca. Frano says the homemade boba is much softer and sweeter than the premade boba she used to buy. She says the homemade boba also tastes better and gives her drinks more of a texture that customers appreciate. She and her staff have become boba experts and enjoy educating their regulars and newcomers to the popular drink.
Unitea’s menu is extensive. They serve bubble tea, slushies, milk teas and more with a long list of toppings including fruit jellies, puddings, seeds and other options. They also sell mochi doughnuts in flavors like strawberry, ube and coffee that rotate on a weekly basis.
