Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca pearls
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Boil 4 cups of water in a medium pot and add 1 cup of tapioca pearls. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
Cook the tapioca pearls over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until they become soft and chewy.
Strain the cooked pearls using a fine-mesh sieve or colander. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
In another pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves. Let them steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the tea leaves using a fine-mesh sieve or tea strainer, then let the tea cool down to room temperature.
In a blender, combine 1 cup of low-fat milk, 2 tablespoons of honey, and the cooled tea. Blend until smooth and frothy.
To serve, divide the cooked tapioca pearls between two glasses.
Add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to each glass.
Pour the blended milk tea mixture over the ice and pearls in each glass.
Stir well and serve immediately with wide straws to enjoy the tapioca pearls.
