#八宝粥还便宜 #
Even Li Xueqin teased

When you're drinking milk tea
What the hell are you drinking?
How can I become a "Milk Tea Grade 10 Scholar"?
After reading this article you will know
Tube full, as the name suggests, this group of ingredients are very real, a cup of belly, dinner are saved.
Ingredients: tapioca starch + caramel/brown sugar
▲ Pearls. Left: Rolled powder circle; Right: What it looks like after cooking.
Pearl should be the elder of the feeding area of the milk tea industry, and the "first person" in the feeding industry.
Boba is actually a "fat" pearl.
Both are essentially powdered rounds, which can also be done at home.
However, making powder rounds takes a long time and is really too tired! Milk tea shops generally buy ready-made powder balls.
Industrial production of powder circles and handmade is still a little different, in the production process will also be added: food coloring to increase the sale, thickeners (guar gum, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, etc.) to increase the taste of Q bullets, food additives (sodium dehydroacetate) to extend the shelf life.
In the 2011 Taiwan plasticizer incident, pearls were detected as plasticizers, causing the former milk tea seasoning district sister to fall off the altar.
However, as long as the source is formal and meets national standards, it is safe and harmless. Don't worry too much about that.
Raw materials: tapioca starch + potato taro
The main raw material of taro balls is also tapioca starch.
Replace taro with pumpkin, purple potato, sweet potato... In an instant, you have taro balls of different colors and different flavors.
If you don't want to do it, there are many ready-made treasures on it.
Ingredients: sago flour / tapioca starch
Sago is called "rice", but it is not rice, it is a small powder circle sifted with starch.
Sago is a starch extracted from the core of the West Valley coconut tree (aka Sand Valley).
However, the starch content of the West Valley Coconut Tree peaks before flowering, while it takes at least eight years for a West Valley Coconut tree to grow to flower. So authentic sago starch is not common. Sago in milk tea shops is also generally made with tapioca starch.
sago.
Compared with the above, Sami is much more "healthy" and does not add extra sugar and other miscellaneous things. I just don't know, will the milk tea shop add sugar when processing sago?
Ingredients: Lipu taro + sugar
Those who love to drink milk tea should have all drunk taro bobo milk tea bar ~ the new sister of the milk tea circle.
Taro puree, that is, taro and sugar water mixed into a puree. The most famous is of course Lipu taro, which has a purple and white betel nut pattern derived from anthocyanins, so it is also called betel nut taro, with a special taro fragrance.
There are a lot of unsweetened taro purees on a treasure, and you can completely DIY a cup at home
Ingredients: Blood glutinous rice / barley / oats + sugar
▲ Blood glutinous rice.
I bet I was the first to add purple rice, barley, oats to the milk tea... People must have peeked at the secret recipe of eight treasure porridge! Otherwise, why are the raw materials the same as the eight treasure porridge?!
You don't need me to introduce these things, right?
However, the ingredients of milk tea shops are not so simple, and they are generally soaked in sugar water for easy transportation and preservation. So even if you order sugar-free milk tea and add these ingredients, it is sweet to drink.
If you are not afraid to drink it, you can try it.
Raw materials: red beans / mung beans / flower beans + sugar
mung bean.
As with the recipe above, cook and soak in sugar water. Putting aside the factor of sugar, the nutrition of beans is still quite rich, but the effect of beans with sugar is greatly reduced.
brief summary:
On eating, or our ancestors are strong, the milk tea shop's addition careful thinking is not the eight treasure porridge play leftovers!
Oats, red beans, blood glutinous rice... Aren't they all raw materials for eight treasure porridge ~ the carbohydrate of these ingredients is high. Although the amount is not much, it must be treated as a staple food ~ ordered these, and the staple food of the meal can be eaten less.
The ingredients in this series are relatively low in calories, and the "guilt" will be a little less when ordering.
Ingredients: pudding powder / silk tofu pudding powder / bean blossom pudding powder
The name is different, but to put it bluntly, it is soy milk flavored pudding vs egg flavor pudding.
Pudding is very simple to make, pure milk + egg + sugar, and then use plastic wrap, filter can be done!
Most of the pudding in the milk tea shop is jelly pudding, and the raw materials include gelatin, agar or carrageenan and other coagulants, plus sugar, milk powder, egg powder, flavor and other additives. Silk tofu / pudding, just add some more soy milk powder / soy milk powder, but not Japan's "silk tofu".
It's easier to make - just add pudding powder directly to the water to heat and dissolve, then cool it, and you're done.
Ingredients: tea jelly powder / coffee jelly powder
The production principle of tea jelly/coffee jelly is similar to that of pudding powder, and the raw materials also include coagulants, add sugar, tea powder/coffee powder, etc.
However, without the vegetable fat powder, milk powder, etc., the taste is more refreshing and the calories are lower.
Raw materials: water, fructose syrup, konjac powder, white sugar, etc
Crispy, succulent, cold weather, very pearl-like in shape. It is an agar, a polysaccharide derived from red algae, which is high in dietary fiber and extremely low in calories.
Most of the cold crystal balls on the market are made of konjac powder and sugar. Konjac powder is the product of konjac processing, in addition to dietary fiber, protein, starch, fat and other content has dropped significantly, and the calories are very low.
Raw materials: cold powder grass + starch
Traditional fairy grass and turtle balm are not the same food:
The raw material of the traditional fairy grass jelly is a plant called "fairy grass", also called cool powder grass, which is particularly difficult to make.
The fairy grass in the milk tea shop is generally made of ready-made fairy grass powder (fairy grass + agar, starch, etc.), hot water to rinse, cool, solidify, just fine, very convenient!
Traditional turtle balm uses the turtle board of the golden turtle, but the golden turtle is a national protected animal. The traditional turtle paste can not be eaten;
Although many turtle creams on the market are now also known as "ancient methods", and the ingredient list also says turtles, most of the main raw materials are also vanilla powder, with more poria, licorice and other Chinese medicinal materials, but in essence it is still fairy grass jelly.
Raw materials: glucose syrup + white sugar
Milk tea is really a paradise for sweet lovers and stew lovers, even marshmallows can be added, I don't know what it tastes like to soak marshmallows?
Ingredients: peach gum / white fungus + sugar
Peach gum, white fungus, smooth taste, is the second of the "collagen three treasures" of a milk tea shop. Hey, this year, even the milk tea shop knows that everyone wants to drink milk tea and wants to have good skin.
However, the viscous taste of peach gum and white fungus comes from soluble dietary fiber, not collagen.
Moreover, these milk teas are all added with sugar. Drinking "Collagen Three Treasures" milk tea every day is more likely to drink the collagen on your face.
Ingredients: coconut water + glucose vinegar bacillus
There are many scenes of coconut fruit, jelly, instant milk tea, canned...
It is not coconut meat, but like stinky tofu, it is the product of microbial fermentation.
The most authentic coconut fruit, the raw material is coconut water, and then inoculated with glucoaceous bacteria fermentation. This bacterium secretes bacterial cellulose during the propagation process, and the cellulose aggregates to form a gel. After cleaning and molding, you get the coconut fruit!
However, the coconut fruit made of coconut water is super expensive! Therefore, those super cheap coconut nuts are replaced by konjac and gelatin cut into the shape of coconut nuts.
Although it has nothing to do with coconut, it is also a supplement to dietary fiber.
Industrial production of coffee jelly, tea jelly, silk tofu, bean blossoms, fairy grass, the main ingredients are similar, mainly rely on agar, carrageenan and other food additives solidification, the calories themselves are not high.
Click on the following, you are the health girl/boy of the "milk tea world".
Ingredients: Strawberry / mango / grapefruit / orange / grape
This is clear at a glance, while drinking milk tea can also eat some fruit, very good!
The only difference is the price! The price difference between the fruit of the milk tea shop and the fruit of the fruit shop is not a star and a half.
However, it is important to note whether it is juice or pulp. Because after the fruit is juiced, the sugar in the fruit becomes free sugar. Therefore, it is still recommended to eat milk tea with a pulp instead of a juice.
Ingredients: peanuts/pecans
Milk tea can also replenish nuts, which is really good. However, it should be noted that some milk tea shops have sugar-coated nuts on the outside, which is not very recommended.
brief summary
Fruits, nuts are excellent players in the feeding area, nutrition and health, remember to ask clearly when ordering: fruit is pulp or juice, nuts have no sugar, etc. It is easier to distinguish it
Fat, sugar, that's the source of deliciousness! It is also the "culprit" of weight gain!
Ingredients: milk cap powder / cheese + light cream + milk + condensed milk + white sugar
The heat bomb of the field.
Cream is made with cheese cheese, light cream, milk, condensed milk, white sugar... Except for milk, which is not a heat explosion! It looks thick, but the taste is still quite light and thin, no wonder so many people love it.
The ingredients for the milk cap are similar, cream cheese, light cream, milk, white sugar, gentle strokes...
A cheaper approach is to use a compounded milk cap powder with milk or water to brew and stir. The main raw materials of milk cap powder are vegetable fat powder, milk powder, white sugar, cheese powder and so on. If you add cheese powder while stirring, it is the cheese milk cap.
Ingredients: Oreo cookies / milk chocolate
Milk tea finally reached out to snacks, Oreo, chocolate, sugar burst, fat burst... Together with milk tea, it cannot be negative and positive.
It is better to go to the supermarket to buy some Oreo and chocolates, crush them and put them into milk tea, not only at a favorable price, but also in controllable portions.
Ingredients: ice cream powder
Ice cream and milk tea are quite compatible, and in the previous article on ice cream, we distinguished the difference between ice cream and ice cream - ice cream made with milk and cream taste better, nutrition is better, and naturally more expensive.
Considering the cost and production time, the ice cream of the general milk tea shop uses ice cream powder, and the main raw materials are vegetable fat powder, white sugar, milk powder and so on.
When it comes to plant fat powder, many regular milk tea shops now use "0" trans fat plant fat powder, but do not worry too much; but after all, the nutritional value is not as good as milk, calcium supplementation or something do not count on.
▲I still want to drink a cup of clean milk tea!
I thought I had escaped the sugar of milk tea, but I jumped into the "pit" of ingredients. To sum up the careful thinking of some milk tea, the following picture can be put away▼
The problem of material selection is solved
But there is an even bigger conundrum
