Bubble tea has grown immensely in popularity over the past couple of decades. Today, we even prefer it to other sugary drinks, like milkshakes and sodas. But did you know you don't have to head to your local boba spot to satisfy your craving? It's actually quite easy to make yourself.

Below, discover seven must-try recipes to have boba whenever, wherever.

Tapioca Pearls by The Flavor Bender

Well, you can't have bubble tea without the boba. The Flavor Bender teaches you how to make the most common type: tapioca pearls. Surprisingly, it isn't as challenging as most people would expect. To make brown sugar boba pearls, for example, all you need is dark brown sugar, water and tapioca starch, but they also offer a recipe for black and matcha pearls.
