Bubble Tea
Mojo:
Considering the UK is often stereotyped with Tea I'm surprised I haven't heard of it.

I think you guys are missing out, but not everyone likes it. I've heard everything from "Are these fish eggs?! Jelly?!" No, they're called 'bubble' cause of the small chewy balls of tapioca.
I bet you could make some interesting drinks since I know you guys have more of an alcohol culture there. Could open like a Asian style bubble tea/diner place but with an alcoholic twist option. A cup here should be no more than 3-4$, over there I think it could be 3-4 pounds which is a lot more converted.
Think it would be expensive to import the tapioca balls too, cause of the freight costs from like Taiwan or Thailand.
edit: Meant to quote Simon not you Randy. :P

To be honest there is a stall that sells it somewhere around my old University so I 'may' have to hunt for it at some point when I get the opportunity, The flavors look nice (Minus the Fish Eggs lol).
