Matcha Boba Tea (Green Milk Tea)

Matcha Boba Tea combines silky cooked tapioca pearls with lightly sweetened green matcha tea and plant-based milk. The matcha is carefully whisked with hot but not boiling water to create a frothy, smooth base with a gently grassy flavor. Served with ice, the drink balances creamy texture and chewy boba pearls, offering a refreshing variation on traditional milk tea.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. To a tall glass, add the tapioca pearls and sweetener of choice. Mix well to combine.
  3. 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.
