Ingredients
Strawberry compote:
- 1 pound of strawberries, destemmed and chopped
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract
Tapioca balls:
- ½ to 1 cup of uncooked tapioca pearls, depending on preference
Strawberry milk tea:
- 3 cups of water
- 3 green or black tea bags
- 3 cups of plant-based milk
- agave nectar, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries and sugar and heat on medium for 4 to 5, stirring frequently. When they begin to soften, use a fork to mush them. Cook until the liquid thickens and it becomes more of a sauce.
- In a large pot, cook tapioca pearls according to package instructions. My package instructed me to cook tapioca pearls in 6 times the amount of water. I used 1 cup tapioca pearls, 6 cups water, and cooked on medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Then turn off the heat, cover it, and let sit for 25 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat, add the three tea bags and allow them to steep until the water has completely cooled.
- When the tea has cooled and the tapioca pearls are cooked, scoop the tapioca pearl and strawberry compote into two large glasses. Then, fill the cups ½ to ¾ of the way with tea, and top off the rest of the way with plant-based milk.
- Give it a taste, and if your preference requires more sweetness, optionally add agave nectar.

Notes
- Adjust the amount of boba: You can use ½-1 cup of tapioca balls for this recipe, depending on how much you'd like.
- For a smooth plant-based strawberry milk tea: Blend some of the strawberry mixture into the vegan milk tea, then top it off with extra compote.
- Make the boba fresh: It's best to prepare the tapioca pearls just before serving the strawberry boba tea, as they will only stay fresh for 3-4 hours (in liquid) before they become overly chewy and tough.
- Color: Opt for green tea for a prettier pink color.
