This is a
dessert drink that apparently started in
Taiwan. It's expanded out of the
Asian community quite a bit, I've seen it being sold at
kiosks at my area's local
mall. It is a relatively simple drink. It's just
Chinese Tea (Most likely
Green Tea), with
tapioca/
starch balls. You can make it yourself, it's pretty nice, my brother likes it more than I do.
