Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Taro powder
- 1 cup Hot water
- 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 cup Quick-cooking tapioca pearls
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Begin by preparing the tapioca pearls (boba). In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, add the tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
Cover the pot and let the pearls cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
Drain the pearls using a strainer and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Transfer the pearls to a small bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Set aside to let them soak and sweeten.
In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of taro powder with 1 cup of hot water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar into the taro mixture, stir until dissolved.
In a blender, combine the taro mixture, 1 cup of milk, and 1 cup of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Divide the sweetened tapioca pearls between two glasses.
Pour the blended taro mixture over the pearls.
Stir gently and serve with a wide straw. Enjoy your homemade taro boba tea!
