In this episode of GoGreenfields, Boba and bounce! Don’t leave! River & Terran have combined three ball-shaped activities to keep you fully entertained. First, they create their very own DIY bouncy balls, complete with bounce testing. Then, they review the popular boba tea from Spokane’s Poke Express. Finally, they take their own approach to tea and pearls with Homemade Boba Tea!
Boba Tea: Did you Know?
Although the tweens and teens (like us!) are claiming this tea as something of our own generation, it was really something that some of our parents could have enjoyed. Of course, they wouldn’t have had the huge selection of boba sellers that we have today (there are five in Spokane, that we know of). Still, this tea was something that was created in the 1980s, and a trip to East Asia at the time likely would have resulted in taste testing the tapioca pearls. Although we approve of boba tea as it is today, there were some varieties – like those containing red beans and grass jelly – that we believe weren’t meant to survive.
Bouncy Balls
Why make bouncy balls? It felt like the perfect thing to pair with boba tea. Don’t you agree. DIY bouncy balls are an easy, and satisfying craft that you can make at home with very few ingredients – Borax soap, white glue, water, and cornstarch! Here’s a recipe.
