How to choose delicious corn for making milk tea
- When buying corn to make milk tea, you should choose American corn because this type of corn has beautiful colors and the kernels are crisp, sweeter, and tastier.
- When selecting corn, you should choose fresh ears, with the outer green husk not dried out, the corn silk still soft and silky, and the stem free from browning or wilting.
- Choose ears with the husk tightly hugging the inner cob. You should also pay attention to the kernels; they must be plump, uniform, shiny, and straight.
- You should not choose corn that is too large; opt for ears that are moderately long and slender.

Next, gradually add boiling water into the flour mixture, using a spoon to stir until the dough becomes sticky, firm, and no longer sticks to the spoon.
Note: You must add hot water to knead the dough, so that the dough becomes chewy and sticks together without melting or cracking.Next, use your hands to break off small pieces of dough and roll them into round balls of your desired size.
For boiling the tapioca pearls, place a pot of water on the stove, bring it to a boil, and then drop the tapioca pearls in to cook over medium heat for about 10 – 15 minutes.
Once the tapioca pearls are soft and floating on the surface of the water, turn off the heat, then scoop the pearls into a bowl of cold water to prevent them from sticking.
