Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams black tapioca pearls
- 500 ml water
- 2 tablespoons or bags strong black tea (loose leaf or bags)
- 1 scoop whey protein powder
- 200 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by preparing the tapioca pearls. In a medium saucepan, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.
Once the pearls float to the top, reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn off the heat and let the pearls sit in the hot water for another 5 minutes. This will ensure they are fully cooked and chewy.
Drain the pearls and rinse them briefly with cold water. Set aside.
Prepare the black tea by bringing 300 ml of water to a boil. Add the black tea and steep for 5 minutes to ensure a strong brew. Remove the tea leaves or bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
In a blender, combine the cooled black tea, whey protein powder, almond milk, and honey. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Divide the cooked tapioca pearls into two serving glasses. Add a cup of ice cubes over the pearls in each glass.
Pour the blended tea and protein mixture over the ice and pearls, dividing it evenly between the two glasses.
Stir the drinks gently with a straw to mix the pearls and milk tea. Serve immediately with wide bubble tea straws and enjoy your high protein classic bubble milk tea!
