Ingredients
Brown Sugar Boba Pearl Syrup
- ½ cup tapioca pearls
- ¼ cup Muscovado sugar or dark brown sugar
- 50 ml cold water
Taro Boba
- ½ cup green tea
- 2 to 3 tbsp taro powder
- 1½ cup milk
Instructions
Brown Sugar Boba Pearl Syrup
- Prepare your tapioca pearls according to the package.
- In a pot, combine the muscovado sugar with 40 ml of water and bring it to a boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer and add in the prepared tapioca pearls. Simmer until the brown sugar syrup has thickened. Simmering the cooked tapioca pearls in the syrup just adds more flavour to them.
- Remove from heat once it has thickened.
Cup of Yum
Taro Boba
- Steep the green tea and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the taro powder and milk (or 50/50 milk and cold filtered water). Blend until fully combined.
- In a cup, add in half of the brown sugar syrup with the pearls. Add in the ice cubes.
- Add the blended taro powder and milk to the cup. Top off with green tea.
- Mix until everything has combined.
Notes
- If using REAL taro:
- Peel and cube 150 to 200 grams of taro.
- Boil the cubed taro root for 20 minutes on medium heat or until fork tender.
- Add the cooked taro, a drizzle of condensed milk, and the milk to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Combine with the green tea and tapioca (if using).
