![]() ![]() ![]() The boba for both was pretty even, with the soft chewiness you’d expect of well cooked tapioca balls, though I could see the potential for the Avalanche boba getting too soft with too long in the microwave (wattage matters!) and the Lipton ones getting soggy if you don’t strain them quickly enough. The ingredients state that it contains 3.2% instant black tea compared to Avalanche’s 2.4%, plus there’s simply more of the Lipton mix (35g versus 20g) in play. Having said that, the taste of the Lipton kit is far richer, both in the tea and brown sugar flavour and also the texture, thanks to the addition of milk (which I’ll remind you is your milk). Making the tea mix dissolvable in cold water is the deciding factor, as it means you don’t need to spend time heating water and then expend effort cooling the liquid down again. Straight off, the Avalanche kit requires less equipment and less time to make and gets all the points for convenience. Both tea mix powders contain milk, so if you have an allergy or intolerance to dairy, or if you’re vegan, these are not the kits for you. ![]() Also, if your kettle is anything like mine, the minimum volume of water you can heat is 500ml, which is more than you need so that’s a bit of a waste.īoth require access to a microwave and ice, which may not be readily available to you, therefore rendering these kits less useful for homemade bubble tea. Not only does it require you to heat water to 70C and zap the boba for 90 seconds, both of which take more time and energy than the Avalanche kit, straining the boba is a bit finicky, and having milk on hand might be a bit of an ask. The Lipton version is a fair amount of work.
