How To Make Bubble (Boba) Tea
Ingredients
- 3 tea bags*
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup boba / tapioca pearls
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup milk of choice
Instructions
- Pour boiling water over tea bags and steep until dark. Refrigerate or place in the freezer until cool or cold. This step general takes 30 minutes, but can also be done overnight.
- Follow package directions for tapioca pearls. I bring 10 cups of water to a boil, add the pearls. When they rise to the surface, turn the heat to medium for 3 minutes. Lower the heat to low and cook another 3 minutes or until the pearls are soft and chewy. Pour the pearls into a colander to strain water.
- Place the tapioca pearls while warm in a bowl and top with honey. Stir the pearls and honey to thoroughly coat.
- Place the ice in a blender and pulse until crushed if desired.
- Divide the tapioca pearls and honey between 2 glasses. Add half of the ice, tea, and milk and stir to combine.
- * you can use any tea you enjoy. I use rooibos, decaf chai or other decaffeinated tea so my kids don’t get a mid day caffeine spike.
