With the heatwave that’s happening right now. We need the ultimate Summer drink to keep cool. Bubble Tea, or Boba Tea, is a staple in our household! Going out to get one is great, making it at home is more cost-effective, and, if it’s too hot to go outside.
I took a lot of inspiration from the recipe over at honest food talks, but opted to use ingredients that I had around the house. It’s quick, easy & you can control the sweetness, type of milk used, etc.
You will need:
– Quick-cook tapioca pearls
– Sweetener of your choice
– Tea bags x2-4, depending on strength of caffeine you’d like
– Milk of your choice
I use these fast cook tapioca pearls, which you can find at your local asian supermarket or online. The most common sweeteners to use are syrup, or brown sugar. In this case, I used brown sugar. For the milk, I used Bio Soy Milk. But you can choose your own milk that you like best π
1. Put yer kettle on & brew your tea, add your sweetener here to dissolve properly. set aside & let cool
2. Boil your tapioca pearls according to package instructions. Drain the pearls after it is cooked & set aside to cool
3. Layer as follows into cup! (from the bottom most ingredient to top):
Ice
Tapioca Pearls
Tea (with/without sweetener of choice*)
Milk of choice**
Then mix mix mix mix mix β¨
That’s it! Enjoy. And stay cool π
