Mango Bubble Tea
The Mango Bubble Tea recipe blends cooked tapioca pearls sweetened with brown sugar and a fresh mango-green tea mixture with plant-based milk. The tea is infused by steeping green tea bags in hot water, then combined with sweet mango and milk before blending smooth. The tapioca pearls add a chewy texture contrast typical of bubble tea, served with ice optionally to chill the drink.
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.
