Hey, how's it going?
Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Hello.
Or TwoSet Bubble Tea rather.
Of course, you have to practice first.
But after practicing, we decided we are going to try
- some bubble tea, and make it ourselves. - Yes!
We decided to follow my mum's recipe on that.
- Mhm. - Where is it?
It's in here.
It's the Yang traditional recipe
passed down through generations.
- Okay, we've never made it before, right? So... - Yeah.
- Forgive us, but- - But your mum does make killer bubble tea.
My mum does.
- You've had it before, right? So... - Yeah, I've had it.
I remember it was your like, birthday party.
A long time ago, and your mum made a huge bowl...
- Yeah, yeah, and it went away so quick. - ...of bubble tea.
- Yeah. - I remember people lining up.
First, you have the boba.
There you go.
This is what it actually looks like, guys.
You shouldn't get those quick ones. Get these ones.
Now, the next thing that makes it is...
- I think, technically, it's called brown sugar, but like, - Yeah, that's true.
- in Chinese, it's "黑糖", which is black sugar. - Yes.
- They translate it literally, so it literally says black sugar. - Black-
- Yeah, so it's actually brown sugar. - Yeah.
Now we have...
Oh, nice!
Look at that.
Brett: It's from the ancient dynasty-
Nah, I'm just joking. It's just a teapot.
And then we have this thing here
to scoot the pearls up.
- Oh, nice. - Which we'll use later.
These here, to store the pearls later.
And the sugar, brown sugar.
Now, we have a bit of red tea.
My mum wouldn't give me the whole packet.
Brett: She goes, "It's really good red tea."
So she gave me a little bit.
Just enough for a few people.
Yeah, it's premium s***.
- Let's go. - Yeah.
That's so confusing.
- "紅茶," red tea is actually black tea. - It's black tea.
Yeah, 紅茶, yeah.
- In Chinese, it's red tea. - I'm sorry, that's... I meant black tea.
紅- Yeah.
Oh yeah, we need some pots.
Eddy: Be right back.
Now, while Eddy is getting that,
we have to boil water, so let me just do this first.
Oh my god- oh s****!
I've boiled water before. That's the only thing I cook.
Oh, it's getting heavy.
Whoa! What a workout!
Gonna boil it back here.
We also have this.
Eddy: It's the most Asian thing.
- Brett: This is the OG rice cooker. - Eddy: Every Asian household has one of them.
This is just to...
seal the heat.
So what's gonna happen,
we're gonna cook the boba for 15 minutes.
And then put the pearls in here.
And we're gonna seal it for 20 minutes.
And then cook it again for another 15 and 20 minutes.
Then it's ready to go.
All right!
Water's boiled.
Pour the hot water in.
How do they do it in cooking videos?
Mm...
And now, we're gonna wait for it to boil.
Once it boils, we'll put 100 grams...
...roughly 100 grams of this inside.
Brett: I need some scissors.
Brett: I have no idea what I'm doing.
Brett: Oh my god! Look at that!
Brett: Oh, can you smell it?
- Eddy: Oh, s***! - Brett: It smells so nice!
Eddy: You can smell the honey.
Eddy: There's 1 kilogram in this thing.
Eddy: 'Cause we don't have a measuring cup.
- Eddy: It's one kilogram. - Brett: It's probably like this much, right?
Eddy: Yeah.
Do not eat this, kids.
And of course, once we pour it in,
we have this, to stir it 15 minutes.
- So I'm gonna time it. - Eddy: You have to stir it for 15?!
I'll keep it going. Cook it for 15, right?
Eddy: All right, I'm gonna go practice while you do that.
Eddy: Look, look, look!
Eddy: You have a blue boba on your cardigan.
*Brett gasps*
- Brett: Mm! - Eddy: TwoSet Apparel.
It's the brown sugar dripping.
I'm so nervous.
It's not real- Is that boiling?
It's not really boiling, right?
Guys, we're getting really impatient.
Come on!
B O I L !
Brett: All right, guys, it's boiled now.
Brett: Look at this!
Wow!
Brett: That's kind of satisfying, look at that.
And it's changing colours already.
Brett: I think it should be enough, right? Is it?
Brett: Maybe a little bit more.
Eddy: Yolo... I mean...
Okay, there you go!
There wasn't much instructions given after this.
But actually, you just cook it for 15 minutes.
15 minutes starts...
now.
I need to practice for a TikTok.
Brett: And I'm gonna look after the boba here.
Cook with me!
Brett: Guys, look at this.
The pearls are starting to come out.
Look at that!
You can hear Eddy practicing in the background.
Oh my god, it smells so good!
You have no ide- okay, oopsies-
The steam, oopsies, oopsies!
Sorry, camera lens.
Oh dude-
There's... 50 seconds left.
47 seconds left.
And we're gonna make the transition from...
the boiling boba here into this pot here.
Ay-yo! I might need your help!
So 17 seconds left.
- Brett: 2...1... - Eddy: Okay.
Brett: That's it.
Is it gonna be hot?
AH!
There you go.
Eddy: Sweet!
Now, we keep it in here for another 20 minutes.
Eddy: Chef Yang!
Yeah, that's right!
- Look, 20 minutes... starting now. - Eddy: Chef Yang!
Guys, time's up!
20 minutes is done.
The next step actually is also then putting it back to boil again.
Brett: There you go.
Eddy: Whoa... that's it!
- Brett: Whoa... - Eddy: That's the stuff.
Brett: Now, we just gotta still cook it again.
- Eddy: That looks so good. - Brett: Another 10-15 minutes,
- Brett: And then steam it, and more practice! - Eddy: Yeah.
Eddy: Wow...
All right, guys, the pearls are out.
I just boiled some hot water.
Now, I've got some exotic black tea.
Eddy: Yeah!
Ooh la la!
- Eddy: Noice! - You can smell it actually.
It smells so good!
If you know tea, first you got to...
...wash it.
I don't know, you just like, wash it.
- Eddy: Oh yeah, you gotta cleanse it once, right? - Cleanse it first, right?
Eddy: Bro, I can't wait.
Oh, I need to get the milk.
Oh yeah, get the milk.
Look at my glasses, guys.
Steam...
Mm!
- I just realised I didn't put enough water in. - Eddy: I got the milk.
- Oh shoot. - Actually, that's okay.
It just hits it. Nice.
Brew it for a few minutes.
2 minutes.
Oh yeah, you guys should see these pearls.
It smells so good.
It's like honey caramelised.
Brett: Guys...
Eddy: Oh my god.
Brett: It looks beautiful.
Brett: Here is the brown sugar.
Eddy: Oh s***!
Brett: Yeah, just a little bit more, just...
- Eddy: Is that enough? - Brett: That should be good enough.
- Eddy: I don't know- - Brett: Maybe a little bit more.
Eddy: You want 70%? 50%? 100%?
Brett: Yeah, yeah, that's it. I think that's a good amount.
Brett: There you go.
Eddy: Can I have a spoon?
Brett: Yeah, I'll just...
Brett: Okay, you use a chopstick...
Eddy: Should it be that hot?
Brett: Maybe not that hot. I think it's gonna burn.
Here's how we're gonna do it.
We're gonna put the pearls in here.
Eddy: I cannot wait!
Brett: And then we mix the brown sugar in.
Eddy: Bro...!
Brett: Now, of course, we stir it up.
Now the pearls are drenched with brown sugar.
Now the best part.
Eddy: Oh s***!
And then...
...the hot red tea.
- I mean, there's two ways of doing it. - Bro...
You can probably mix the tea with the milk together.
- Oh yeah, 'cause they shake it, right? - Yeah.
But we can stir it for now 'cause we don't have a...
- Shaker thing. - Yeah.
Fresh milk.
Eddy: Ohhh!
There you go.
Eddy: Oh my god. That actually looks amazing.
- I wanna take a photo. - Oh dude, look at that!
I'm impressed!
This is warm.
Mm...!
- Needs more sugar. - Yeah.
But the pearls are pretty good!
Brett: The pearls are really good!
Sorry, we don't have a straw, guys.
Normally it's a straw.
Mm!
- Yeah, I think that way of cooking pearls is legit. - Mm!
You boil it, but then you like, you know,
keep it insulated for a while, 20 minutes,
and you boil it again, and insulate it again.
It keeps it really like, chewy.
Dude, guys, that's it.
