today you're going to learn how to make a large boba shop size batch of green tea
that looks amazing hey guys I'm Kristin the bubble tea queen and welcome to my channel
for this video i will be putting all of the conversions in the description
below this will include the large batch medium small and also individual size just in case you
want to make one drink at a time I've owned successful award-winning bubble tea shops for
many years and in this video you're going to learn how to brew tea majority of bubble tea shops will
offer green tea or black tea to their customers so today we're going to learn how to brew a jasmine
green tea this is a large hot water urn and these are tea urns every day we brew two full
batches of tea to fill up the entire thing and by the end of the day the majority of it is gone
it's important with bubble tea shops to brew fresh tea every day because believe me there
is a difference in flavor an insulated tea urn like this will keep your tea pretty hot
throughout the day and that's why with all my drink recipes we start off with hot water first
and then add the tea because remember if you're at the end of the day and you're only adding hot
tea to your beverage in order to melt the powder or syrup it's not going to be warm enough to do
that at that point and at the end of the day you always want to make sure to throw away the old tea
and take your water and clean out the inside of this container really really well that not
only helps with preventing any tea buildup or grime on the inside but also that way the next
day when you go ahead and you put fresh new tea in there you're not carrying any of the old tea
into the new tea preferably at the end of each night after they're completely cleaned out we
actually turn them over and the whole entire unit will dry overnight all right so this is the size
bag that we get our tea in in bubble tea shops this one is 500 grams basically you just open
it up it's got large pieces of loose leaf tea and it's best to then store it in an airtight
container that way the tea will remain as fresh as possible okay so here i have some loose leaf
jasmine green tea which I'm just going to put in this container so you can see how it looks
so as you can see here it's loose leaf and you know just a lot of different types of
the leaf that's in there sometimes you'll find like an actual piece of jasmine flower
i really love the smell of the jasmine green tea and i think it's an excellent option for
the majority of the fruit teas and mocktails you know one thing that's really unique
is that the customers will be drinking the fruit tea and enjoying it because of the green tea base
but there'll be something really special about it that they don't understand it's the jasmine
not only does it release a scent to the person who's drinking it and it really accentuates
the flavors of the fruits but it just really complements the green tea nicely and gives it
something really special and unique and if you do have a bubble tea business where you are directly
communicating and getting your tea shipped in from the manufacturer you can actually change
the amount of jasmine that's in your green tea so if you just want it to be green tea basic
that's it but there's actually different levels of jasmine that you can have added
so if you want it to be a really really floral jasmine green tea that is definitely an option
for many people who own bubble tea shops all right so first things first as soon as you arrive to
your shop in the morning gotta turn on your hot water it takes a while for the whole thing to
heat up on this water urn basically i turn it all the way up and then as soon as i start to hear it
boil then i go ahead and i turn it down a little bit and that's when i position
the water to go into the container however each water system is completely different so just do
what you need to do accordingly while the water is heating I'm going to go ahead and measure my
tea leaves into a separate container so I've got my scale I'm going to put the container on top
and hit the tare button i want to make sure that it's on zero and grams all right here we go
see as you can see here loads and loads of different
bits there's a little jasmine flower right there
so nice and fragrant all right so the first port of course was weighing the tea and that
was in grams and the second part is actually getting the water in terms of volume we're
going to be using liters and milliliters all right so it sounds like our water is ready for
us to pour out so for the green tea we need the hot water to be about 70 degrees Celsius we can
go a little lower than that but we don't really want to go higher than that because then you risk
scalding the leaves and it gives a really bitter flavor and your guests may be able
to tell the difference I've been to bubble tea shops where I've tried their green tea and it
just tastes really sort of strange maybe sort of bitter or a little off and i think
a lot of that has to do with the fact that they just don't brew their green tea at the
correct temperature so just really bear that in mind when you are going to be adding your
tea leaves to the water it's really great if you can get an electric thermometer and then
that way you can actually test the temperature of the water before you put your tea leaves in
and then that way there won't be any problems and your tea will taste amazing so because i need five
liters of water what I'm going to do is fill it up to about three or four check the temperature
then if it's too hot I'm going to add some cold tap water and I'm just going to keep going back
and forth until i get at the correct temperature i do always check the temperature just in case
because again i want the flavor of my green tea for my guests to be the exact same every time
all right so I'm going to start putting in a little bit of cold
water so we can get it to the correct temperature
all right perfect 70 degrees Celsius and now we're going to pour 125 grams
of the jasmine green tea into our five liters of the water
and now we just want to give it a light stir just to make sure that all of the tea leaves
are combined with the water that way the tea leaves can release their amazing flavor
and we want to cover it with a lid
this is a great idea because it holds in all of that heat but also well because it's a bubble tea
shop and you don't want someone bumping into it and burning themselves because believe me
this is really hot and last but not least you want to set a timer for seven minutes
okay our timer is up and we are ready to pour out the tea so here's a few things that you're
gonna need before you do this last step now of course you need your insulated tea container
two large metal sieves now these are the type that you get at the restaurant shops
so these are specific for restaurants or tea shops so you just pop that like that
and the idea is if you have two well that way if you have any small tea bits they'll make it past
the first one but hopefully they won't make it past the second one because believe me at the end
of the day when you're getting really low on your tea and you're pouring it out for your customers
even though we all know that tea leaves are safe and they're actually really good for your health
if a customer gets a drink and there's a bunch of like little mini tea leaves in there
they kind of get upset so let's try to avoid that as much as possible it's always helpful
to have an extra container of course our tea that has been brewing here and our lid now
the reason why i have the trash can right next to it is sometimes when you're pouring it out
some of it accidentally um will fall on the ground now if you haven't done your mopping
for the day yet that's fine and then you can just mop it up but i prefer just to do it like
this and then that way if any of it kind of sprinkles out it just sprinkles directly into
the bin you don't have to worry about it okay so first we're just going to take off the lid
again this is very hot make sure you're wearing gloves make sure your staff are
wearing gloves the last thing you want to do is have them burn their hands
before i pour it out i like to give it one more last stir
here we go
make sure to put all of the tea into that container
then we just want to lightly push down on all of the tea leaves
just to extract all the last bit of the
juices
this is like the best part of a morning routine because it just smells
so amazing and carefully take off the top one and put it in the bin
and then the second one again usually shouldn't have any large pieces it's just to kind of
catch the little extra bits so we'll pop that there and before we do anything else
put the lid on keeps the heat in and prevents anything from accidentally falling in there
so I'm just gonna put this back over on my shelf and then I'm going to wash all of these things off
super important do not let any of your tea leaves end up in the drain it's okay if there's
a few pieces or you know occasional piece here and there but of course not the majority of it
that's why we wanted to get as much of this in the bin as possible that way when you are rinsing it
out in your sink you won't have any clogs okay so that's about it now just as a reminder that is for
a large batch of tea and if you have a bubble tea shop you're probably gonna be doing two of those
every morning all right guys so there's only one thing left to do let's go ahead and try the tea
that looks amazing it's got a really light amber sort of color to it sort of yellowish orange
if you will if you hold it up to the light it definitely represents that color of what you would
think green tea would look like very very strong dense it's got a really nice strong thickness of
color to it that smells really nice I'm definitely getting that green tea scent but I'm also getting
a whiff of the jasmine the jasmine flowers kind of mixed with that green tea definitely smells
like something i want to try so let's give it a taste oh yeah that is nice and strong
now again this is a really really concentrated brew this isn't something that you're going to
you know make a large glass of and sip on it this is for bubble tea recipes specifically my bubble
tea recipes where we're only using about 100 to 150 milliliters of it for a 350 ml glass see
because this is strong and the normal person would just not be down with this flavor but when you use
a small amount of it with the ice that's melting and creating that volume into water and then
you've got the flavor of the fruit this is sort of the base of it you know they're getting that green
tea flavor accompanied with the jasmine scent and then they're also getting the flavor of the fruit
syrup that you're mixing in and then of course your drinks will be really nice ice cold and
that's a whole process that we have in all of my recipes which if you haven't seen yet definitely
check below in the description I'll be sure to link a few of them but I've got a lot of them
up online that you can check out but yeah this is just going to be your base for your fruit tea so
that's why the flavor profile is so so strong and thick when we do this brew because we just want it
there to kind of accentuate the drink if you will it is going to be strong enough once it's diluted
to fully give that jasmine green tea flavor believe me but just as a sort of sample right now
it's good it's really nice and like i mentioned before it's not bitter it's not twangy it tastes
exactly like green tea is supposed to taste and the reason why is because we used a lower
temperature of the hot water so just bear that in mind if you are going to be doing like a single or
a smaller batch never feel like oh um i need my tea to be boiling it needs to be hot just like
when i make black tea no no no when you're doing a green tea it's super important to make sure
that your temperature is approximately 70 degrees Celsius and again i will link those conversions
