Description
A delightful and refreshing Matcha Bubble Tea that combines chewy boba pearls with vibrant matcha flavors, perfect for a cozy afternoon treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup tapioca pearls
- ¼ cup muscovado sugar (or dark brown sugar)
- 50 ml cold water
- 2 tsp matcha powder
- ½ cup hot water
- 1 handful ice
- 2–3 cups milk (or non-dairy milk)
Instructions
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add tapioca pearls, stir gently, and simmer until the pearls float and feel tender (5 to 10 minutes).
- Mix the syrup by combining muscovado sugar and cold water in a small saucepan. Warm gently until the sugar dissolves.
- Drain the pearls and rinse briefly with cold water. Transfer them into the warm brown sugar syrup and let them rest.
- Sift matcha powder into a bowl, pour hot water over it, and whisk until frothy.
- Build the drink by spooning pearls and syrup into a tall glass, adding ice, and then pouring matcha over the ice.
- Finish by adding milk and stirring to combine. Adjust the flavor as desired.
- Serve with a wide straw or a long spoon.
Notes
Use less milk for a stronger matcha flavor and feel free to replace regular milk with oat or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
