Matcha Boba Tea (Green Milk Tea)
Description
This Matcha Boba Tea starts by whisking matcha powder with boiling water to blend it thoroughly and create a smooth, frothy green tea mixture. The tapioca pearls are cooked separately until chewy and then combined with a sweetener such as agave syrup. The pearls sit at the bottom of a tall glass.
Plant-based milk and optionally ice cubes are then added, and the cooled matcha is poured slowly to form layers. The drink is served cold, providing a creamy mouthfeel from the milk, sweetness from the syrup, bitterness and earthiness from the matcha, and a pleasing chewiness from the pearls.
This beverage is best enjoyed fresh within a few hours to maintain boba texture. Precise water temperature and thorough whisking prevent bitterness and lumps in the matcha. Adjust sweetness and milk quantities to suit personal preference.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup tapioca pearls cooked
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder green
- ¼ cup water boiling
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup or maple syrup
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 cup ice (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with boiling water for at least one minute. Set this mixture aside and let it cool down.
- To a tall glass, add the tapioca pearls and sweetener of choice. Mix well to combine.
- Add the ice, if using. Then add the plant-based milk and slowly add the matcha to create a layer.
Notes
- Use water heated to about 80°C (175°F) rather than boiling to avoid scorched, bitter matcha.
- Whisk matcha powder thoroughly until thick, frothy, and smooth to prevent lumps.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of agave or maple syrup to taste.
- Consume boba tea within 3–4 hours to ensure tapioca pearls remain tender and chewy.
