‘Tea Bombs’ is the latest trend to mesmerise foodies on Instagram. This food trend actually takes off from the ‘Hot Chocolate Bombs’ which had gone viral around Christmas 2020. All you had to do was to dunk a ball of chocolate into hot milk to see it exploding, and the perfect cup of hot chocolate would be ready! The making of ‘Tea Bombs’ follow a very similar process, except that the globes are made with sugar and filled with all sorts of goodies.
There are thousands of tea varieties across the world, and Tea Bombs are made with a select few. Some prefer to fill their tea bombs with flavours such as chamomile and lavender, while others opt for a simple green or lemon tea. While some Tea Bombs contain teabags, others are filled with the leaves directly. There is also an option to fill up the Tea Bombs with other fancy ingredients that make it even more visually appealing. Food bloggers are adding everything from edible glitter to crushed flower petals to make their cup of tea look stunning!
