Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Black Tea Bags
- 500 ml Hot Water
- 100 grams Tapioca Starch
- 50 ml Boiling Water
- 60 ml Heavy Cream
- 240 ml Almond Milk (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Xylitol Sweetener
- 1 cup Ice Cubes
Instructions
Start by brewing the tea: Boil 500 ml of water and steep the black tea bags for 5-7 minutes. Let the tea cool to room temperature and then chill it in the refrigerator.
Prepare the sugar-free boba pearls: In a bowl, place 100 grams of tapioca starch. Gradually add 50 ml of boiling water to the starch, stirring with a spatula until a dough forms.
Knead the dough until smooth, then divide it into four portions. Roll each portion into a long snake-like shape, about 1 cm in diameter.
Cut the dough ropes into small pieces, about 1 cm each. Roll these pieces into small balls to form the tapioca pearls.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the pearls. Boil the pearls on medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After boiling, remove the pot from heat, cover it, and let the pearls sit for an additional 15 minutes.
Drain the pearls and rinse them with cold water. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, combine 60 ml of heavy cream, 240 ml of unsweetened almond milk, and 2 tablespoons of xylitol sweetener. Stir until well combined.
Assemble the milk tea: Divide the cooked boba pearls into two glasses. Add a few ice cubes to each glass.
Pour the chilled tea over the ice and pearls, then top with the milk mixture.
Stir gently and serve your sugar-free classic boba milk tea immediately. Enjoy!
