Event Description
4:00-5:30pm in McCormick Country Kitchen
BOBAFest was later this year because we got kicked out from the Country Kitchen during our normal time by McCormick House Government, even though we made our reservation far in advance (grumble). Because it no longer overlapped with Midway, we could have exec come to both events, but we still let people choose so they didn't die (with NextAct on top of all that) and we lost some crazy kids to the Google puzzle hunt that day.
We made concentrated milk tea the morning of (~10am) and let it chill in the refrigerator until the event started. We started making the boba about an hour before and let it soak in sugar water.
Materials
- Black Tea
- 5-minute Boba (we had to clean out much of C-Mart's supply) + brown sugar
- Condensed Milk
- Ice (to chill the tea and boba)
- Assorted snacks (as much as the budget covers)
- Cups (we used leftover big red cups from Costco)
- Boba straws
- Trash Bags and Tape (to cover eeeverything)
Notes
- When making milk tea, don't put the tea bags into continuously boiling water. Bring the water to boil and turn off the heat before adding the tea. Doing otherwise will either make the tea bags burst and/or result in extremely bitter tea, which is irrecoverable from.
- Many sophomore boys valiantly volunteered to be shot at and employed very creative pieces of armor.
- Find the pot lids ahead of time, as during the boba wars, sticky targets wished to dig through our kitchen equipment
- Enforce a shooting zone so that stray boba doesn't end up eeeverywhere o____o (Also, perhaps we should have separate boba cups for shooting boba as spraying liquid can be a hazard...or maybe post up shooting boba instructions?)
- Staly + a couple other ended up washing their feet in the sink. Is there an outside hose that can be used, or take pots of water outside for this purpose?
