Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Large tapioca pearls (boba)
- 4 cups Water (for cooking tapioca pearls)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 cups Honeydew melon (or cantaloupe)
- 1 cup Milk (or a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to the package instructions (usually 20-25 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, drain the tapioca pearls and transfer them to a bowl. Mix in the sugar while the pearls are still warm, letting them absorb the sweetness. Set aside.
In a blender, add 2 cups of diced melon (honeydew or cantaloupe), 1 cup of milk (or your preferred non-dairy alternative), and optional honey for extra sweetness. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Fill two tall glasses with 1/4 cup of cooked tapioca pearls each.
Add a few ice cubes to each glass, then pour the blended melon mixture over the top.
Insert a wide straw for sipping, stir gently, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
