Bubble tea, also known as boba tea, is a fun and delicious drink that combines tea, milk, and chewy tapioca pearls. Follow this simple recipe to make bubble tea at home.
Ingredients:
For the Tapioca Pearls:
1/2 cup tapioca pearls
4 cups water
For the Tea Base:
2 cups water
2 tablespoons Marvel Tea (Assam or green tea)
1-2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
For the Bubble Tea:
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Ice cubes
Instructions:
Cook the Tapioca Pearls:
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.
Cook the pearls until they float to the surface (about 5 minutes). Then, reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Once cooked, drain the pearls and rinse them under cold water. Transfer them to a bowl and mix in a bit of sugar or honey to keep them from sticking.
Brew the Tea:
In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add 2 tablespoons of Marvel Tea leaves (or use 2 tea bags). Let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preference.
Remove the tea leaves or bags and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of sugar while the tea is still hot. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
Assemble the Bubble Tea:
In a tall glass, add 2-3 tablespoons of the cooked tapioca pearls.
Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes.
Pour the cooled tea over the ice, filling the glass about 3/4 full.
Add 1/2 cup of milk to the glass. Adjust the amount of milk based on your preference.
Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Serve and Enjoy:
Insert a wide straw (essential for enjoying the tapioca pearls) and give the drink one final stir.
Enjoy your homemade bubble tea made with Marvel Tea!
Tips:
For extra flavor, try adding a splash of flavored syrup or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to your bubble tea.
If you prefer a stronger tea flavor, use more tea leaves or steep for a longer time.
Experiment with different types of milk, such as almond, soy, or coconut, to find your favorite combination.
Bubble tea is a versatile drink that you can customize to suit your taste. With Marvel Tea, you can create a refreshing and delightful beverage that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the unique texture of tapioca pearls combined with the rich flavors of Marvel Tea in every sip!
