Tropical Coconut Bubble Tea Recipes

BOBA (COCONUT MILK BLACK TEA WITH TAPIOCA PEARLS)

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot. Pour in tapioca and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and let balls sit in water for 25 minutes.
• Return stockpot to the heat; simmer and stir for 25 minutes more. Remove from heat and let rest again until centers of the balls are no longer powder, another 25 minutes. Drain.
• Combine brown sugar and white sugar in a large bowl. Pour tapioca balls into the sugar mixture. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes while preparing the tea.
• Process tea, coconut cream, ice, milk, and sugar together in a blender until combined.
• Scoop 1/4 cup of the tapioca into each tall glass and fill with tea. Enjoy with large straws to suck up the tapioca, or use spoons.

STRAWBERRY PB&J BUBBLE TEA RECIPE

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. If desired, add ~10 drops liquid sweetener to infuse some sweetness. (I like to use stevia or monk fruit drops.)
• Add uncooked boba tapioca pearls to boiling water. Lightly stir unto boba begin to float, then cover and boil for 3 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat and carefully drain boba pearls. Transfer to a bowl and cover with water until ready to use. (Otherwise they'll stick together!)
• In a blender, combine strawberries, milk, peanut butter, vanilla, and sweetener (if desired) and blend until smooth.
• Add cooked tapioca pearls to desired boba tea cups, pour in blended milk tea, serve with a boba straw, and enjoy!
