Instructions

  1. Pour one cup of boiling water over the tea leaves. Cover and let steep until it cools to room temperature (see Note 1).
  2. Pour brewed tea, taro paste, and milk into a blender. Blend it all together on high speed until super smooth. Add food colouring as needed if you wish to achieve the classic purple taro boba colour.
  3. Cook tapioca pearls per package instructions, rinsing with cold water once fully cooked.
  4. Add the pearls to the bottom of a tall glass. Toss in some ice cubes (optional) and pour in the blended taro milk tea mixture. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t worry about the tea becoming bitter with the long steeping time. Since the tea gets diluted with the milk and taro, we want it to be brewed very strong. I’ve tested this recipe with several types of tea and haven’t experienced a bitter taste in my milk tea.
  • Without additional sweeteners, this recipe is similar to a 30% sweetness level at BBT shops. You can add more sugar to taste (I like to use stevia sweetener), 1 tbsp at a time.
