Most of the teen voices have been cut out for clarity since you, the viewer here, can\u2019t see their questions in a chat box or hear their voices clearly, but a couple of their questions were left in when it made sense to include it. You\u2019ll obviously notice inconsistencies with the sound and the voice recording. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">You\u2019ll also notice that the video is cut out of order from the real time lesson \u2014 again for clarity. The steps to make the milk tea appears at the beginning of the video, but during the live lesson, we prepared both the milk tea and boba dough at the same time. I recommend if you\u2019re new to cooking\u2014 to do them separately so you don\u2019t have to watch two pots on the stove. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">So before beginning, I recommend reading through the entire recipe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">I want to thank the teen volunteers who first tested the recipe with me which helped develop the final workshop.
