Snow Fluff in Taiwan - Bubble Tea Zone
1.
2. Bubble Tea (also commonly known as ‘boba tea’, ‘boba drink’, ‘pearl
tea’, or ‘zhen zhu nai cha’) first originated in Taiwan in the early
1980s. Now, it has become an international drink as its popularity
continues to grow worldwide.
You can find it worldwide in various coffee shops, restaurants, and
tea shops. It is a one-of-a-kind beverage, which contains tapioca
pearls or jelly at the bottom of the cup.
In order to drink it properly, you’ll need a super fat straw to suck up
the tapioca pearls. It can be made in a variety of ways: flavored tea,
milk tea, ice-blended slush, smoothie, etc.

4. Snow Fluff in Taiwan
The Taiwanese introduced a popular iteration of the shaved ice, an ice
dessert that had been around for many years. The traditional shave ice
is made by shaving a block of ice and improved by adding different
kinds of toppings.
The toppings can be any of the fruits in season or some dessert items
like custard, beans, or even ice cream.
5. The Taiwanese put a new twist to the shaved ice by reversing the
process and creating a flavor-infused ice block. Flavors are added to the
water before it is frozen to make an ice block.
The flavor-infused block is shaved to produce soft and thin ribbons of
flavored ice to be topped with fruits, nuts, and other assorted sweets.
To make the concoction more flavorful, condensed milk is sprinkled
on top of all the ingredients.
The resulting product is a cross between the traditional shaved ice and
ice cream. Called or xue hua bing in Chinese, the snow fluff has popped
up in the different Taiwanese stores and shops that sell iced desserts and
other cold delicacies.
6. Making Snow Fluff
While shaved ice is prepared by grinding or shaving ice and adding
toppings and condensed milk or fruit syrups, snow fluff starts closer to
the ice cream.
Different flavorings, such as chocolate or green tea are mixed into a
combination of milk and water.
The mixture is then frozen into giant candle-like cylinder block.
7. The frozen block is then mounted onto the ice shaving machine which
makes very thin and silky slices or sheets that form a beautiful layer.
The thin ribbon-like slices are so thin that they immediately melt in
the mouth, like cotton candy.
The prepared dessert comes as a pile of colorful snow drizzled with
fruit syrup and finished with different toppings that may include red
beans, grass jelly or lychee, a favorite fruit in Taiwan.
Other tropical fruits, such as mango, watermelon, strawberry, passion
fruit, and cantaloupe are the people’s favorites.
8. From Taiwan to the Rest of the
World
Snow fluff became a crowd-drawer not only in every city of
Taiwan but also to major cities around the world.
One will find shops and restaurants selling snow fluff in the Asian
hubs of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and other major cities of
the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
