✨Bubble tea recipe! ✨

(Mostly so i have it written somewhere and i can reference it if people ask me about it ‘cause i suck at remembering doses and such...)

Stuff you need:

Tapioca balls (can find on amazon)

Prefered tea (i use English breakfast)

Milk (optional if you prefer to go without)

A bowl

Somewhere to boil the bubbles

Somewhere to boil the tea water (can be the same as above or just use a microwave)

Large straws (i use a metallic washable one but you can use any large straw, also can find on amazon)

A mug or similar to drink the bubble tea in

Now on to the actual recipe:

1. Take out about 2 small handfuls of tapioca balls per mug you wanna make (can be more or less depending on how much bubbles you want/prefer)

2. Take to boil a small pot with water and 2 teaspoons of sugar in it. When it’s boiling drop the bubbles in it and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes

3. While they boil, take about 3 spoonfuls of their water and put them in a small bowl. Mix it with about 1 and a half/ 2 teaspoong of honey until they form a sort of liquid sweetener

4. Strain the bubbles (be careful, they’re veeery squishy and will totally slip through larger holes) and drop them in the bowl with the honey. Mix them a bit and then let them sit in there for a while, both to cool off and get their shiny black appearance and to suck up all the sugary goodness

5. While they sit in there, make some tea! You can use the same pot to boil some water, i’m lazy so i just stick a mug full of water in the microwave and then pour it in the glass jar i use for bubble tea. People usually suggest black tea for bubble tea but tbh? Experiment all you want, that’s half the fun

6. When the tea is ready pick up the tapioca balls with a spoon and drop them in the mug you choose. You can also just pour the whole thing in the tea if you like your bubble tea hella hella sweet

7. (Optional, add the milk) Mix the whole thing and congrats! You just made bubble tea at home!

New Year, New Grimoire

With the year coming to a close, now is as good a time as any to start a new grimoire or book of shadows. Maybe it’s your first, maybe it’s your 10th. But there’s just something nice about starting a new magical journal around New Years.

This post is going to be similar to my “Great Big Wichy Video Starter Kit For Beginners” in that it is essentially a YouTube playlist, a curated list of the videos that helped me the most.

This is not a sponsored post, these videos are not mine, and I have no connection or affiliation with the creators of these videos. If you find contrasting opinions in these videos, don’t stress, just decide which you like better and keep that one with you. Also, if you change your mind later, that’s okay too! This is part of growing.

First Things First, You’ll Need A Book

You can use anything from journals, to binders, to planners, to sketchbooks, but if you can’t seem to find the perfect one in any stores, you can make one yourself!

You should consider how you will express yourself in your book. Writing? Drawing? Painting? Making collages? All of the above?

Grimoire VS Book Of Shadows

HearthWitch has a pretty solid explanation of the differences between the two

You might also want something more specific, like a dream journal, or a bullet journal for weekly and monthly intention setting. You can be as specific or as general as you want!

The First Page Is The Hardest

How do you begin? An “About Me” page with your natal or solar chart? Maybe your personal rules you’ve set for yourself?
