Mango Bubble Tea
Description
Mango Bubble Tea features chewy tapioca pearls cooked and sweetened with brown sugar, paired with a mango-flavored green tea base. Green tea bags are steeped in hot water, then blended with ripe mango and plant-based milk for a fruit-forward, creamy tea drink. The tapioca pearls provide the classic bubble tea chewiness, making each sip textured and refreshing.
The recipe advises using water at around 80C (175F) to avoid bitterness in the green tea, and high-quality or frozen mango for best flavor, especially out of season. The drink can be sweetened further if the mango isn’t naturally sweet enough. It's recommended to consume the tapioca pearls within a few hours after cooking to maintain their tender yet chewy texture, storing them in liquid to prevent drying out.
This beverage serves well as a fruity, textured refreshment that combines tea and tropical fruit flavors with the unique sensation of tapioca pearls.
Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca pearls cooked
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 ½ cup water boiling
- 2 bags green tea
- 2 Mango cubed or 2 cups of frozen mango, ripe
- 1 ½ cups plant-based milk
- ¼ cup ice optional
Instructions
- Mix the cooked tapioca pearls with the brown sugar and set aside.
- In a mug, add the boiling water and tea bags. Let them sit covered for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- To a blender, add the mango, plant-based milk, and tea. Blend for 2 minutes until completely smooth.
- Add the tapioca pearls to a glass. Pour in the mango tea mixture. Add ice if using.
Notes
- Use water around 80°C (175°F) to prevent the green tea from becoming bitter.
- Prefer ripe or frozen mangoes, or quality mango puree, especially when fresh mango is out of season.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more sweetener if the mango isn’t sweet enough.
- Consume tapioca pearls within 3-4 hours of cooking and keep them in liquid to maintain their texture.
