Start by preparing the keto-friendly tapioca pearls. In a small saucepan, mix 1/2 cup of water with the gelatin powder and stir until fully combined. Let it sit for a minute to bloom.
Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add coconut flour and unsweetened cocoa powder, stirring until a dough forms.
Let the mixture cool slightly until it is manageable to handle. Roll small portions of the dough into small balls to mimic tapioca pearls. You'll need about 1/4 cup of pearls.
In a separate pot, bring the remaining 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Add the dough balls and boil for about 5 minutes or until they rise to the top. Drain and set aside.
Steep black tea bags in hot water (1 cup) for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the tea to become flavorful.
Remove tea bags and stir in erythritol sweetener until completely dissolved.
Allow the tea to cool slightly before adding the almond milk.
To assemble the bubble tea, divide the keto tapioca pearls between two serving glasses.
Add a generous amount of ice cubes to each glass.
Pour the sweetened black tea over the ice, followed by the almond milk, stirring gently to combine.
Serve with a wide straw and enjoy your refreshing Keto Classic Milk Bubble Tea!
