Ingredients

Servings

For Boba Pearls

  • 3/4 cup tapioca pearls
  • 4 cups water

For the Drink

  • 2 cups strawberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 2/3 cup water hot
  • 1 1/2 cup milk whole
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Make the Matcha Tea: Add matcha powder in a medium jar, and then pour hot water on top. Whisk until completely dissolved. Chill the Matcha tea in the refrigerator. (It’s best to make the matcha green tea ahead of time)
  2. Cook the Tapioca Pearls: In a medium saucepan, bring the water to boil. Then add tapioca pearls. Stir gently and wait for them to float to the top. Let them cook for about 5 minutes or until soft. Remove the cooked pearls from the water using a slotted spoon. Quickly rinse them with cold water. Transfer them onto a plate and let them cool completely.
  3. Make the Strawberry Puree: Prepare the strawberries by removing green leaves and cut them into quarters. In a medium mixing bowl, add the strawberries and sugar. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, and then mash with a fork until the strawberries are broken down.
  4. Assemble Strawberry Matcha Latte: In a serving glass, add 1 to 2 spoons of cooked tapioca balls, and then pour in the strawberry puree. (You can adjust the amount based on your preference: add more strawberry compote if you prefer a sweeter drink)
  5. Fill the rest of the glass with ice cubes. Then add the milk, leaving about half of an inch to the rim of the glass. Then pour in the chilled matcha tea. (Tips: pour gently so that you’ll have 3 beautiful distinct layers.) Stir and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Don’t cool down the tapioca pearls in the refrigerator, as it can become hard.
  • You can puree your strawberry using a blender, but I like to use a masher so that my strawberries have a nice chunky texture.
  • To make distinct layers, pour the matcha tea very slowly into the glass. More matcha tea will add a more vivid green color to the drink.
