Cool and creamy, bubble tea is a delightful Taiwanese drink that has become popular worldwide. Impress your family and friends with your homemade bubble tea. Enjoy the unique texture of tapioca in this delicious drink together.
To make the tea, bring 300ml of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the tea bags and let them steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and stir in sugar until it dissolves.
In a separate pot, boil 500ml of water. Once boiling, add tapioca pearls and gently stir. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let it sit for another 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the tapioca pearls with cold running water.
Combine the brewed tea, milk, and ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Shake well until the mixture is frothy and well-mixed.
Add a handful of tapioca pearls to each glass. Pour the tea mixture over the pearls and stir gently. Serve immediately with a wide straw.
Notes
The amount of sugar can be adjusted to personal preference, and other sweeteners like honey can be also used instead.
For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk like almond or soy milk.
Fruit syrups or flavoured powders can also be added for extra taste.
