    Chocolate Bubble Tea

    Rich, delicious and irresistible— Chocolate Bubble Tea is a great beverage that is quick and easy to prepare!

    2 large glasses of Chocolate Bubble Tea

    Chocolate Bubble Tea

    I really enjoy a good chocolatey drink with soft tapioca pearls floating here and there for an additional texture. This drink is rich in cacao, which makes it so chocolatey in flavor.

    The addition of milk in this recipe makes the whole drink extra flavorful too, with a milky and creamy taste. Both the taste and texture of this beverage are a win, and you will never regret making it at home.

    Chocolate Bubble Tea

    Some love bubble teas for the tapioca pearls that make them chewy and possess an addictive texture. Most are rather fond of bubble teas because they are refreshingly thick, creamy, and flavorful.

    Alright, you may say, “but bubble teas are just flavored milk drinks with tapioca pearls!” Well, that, right there, is a wrong way to describe bubble teas. Sure, they are milk teas with tapioca pearls, but bubble teas are flavorful in their accords. The tapioca pearls in the highly flavorful drinks make it unique and different from common concoctions in milk tea shops.

    What's in This Recipe?

    Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Milk. Whole milk is the best milk to use in this recipe since it gives a creamier taste.

    Tea Bags. Black or jasmine tea provides a robust flavor for your bubble tea, feel free to use either of the two.

    Cocoa Powder. I highly recommend a good quality cocoa powderfor better taste!

    Vanilla Bean Paste. I like to add a tiny amount of vanilla bean paste to flavor the tea.

    Sugar. A little sweetener to make this drink perfect!

    Tapioca Pearls. The chewy texture of tapioca pearls will surely add the best texture and bubble tea experience for you.

    Whipped Cream. I use whipped cream for topping!

    How To Make Chocolate Bubble Tea?

    steps of making the recipe

    One: In a saucepan, Add the milk and tea bags and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

    Two: Turn off the heat, take out the tea bag and stir in vanilla bean paste, sugar and cacao powder.

    Three: Divide the cooked tapioca pearls between two large cups, then pour the chocolate tea on top.

    Four: Top with whipped cream and scatter some cacao powder on top.

    Helpful Tips!

    • The texture of tapioca pearls hardens after a few hours of being cooked, and you may no longer find it appealing to add to your drink. Hence I recommend to only cook the tapioca pearls when you are already going to use them.
    • A good bubble tea does not require too much sweetness as the drinker mainly focuses on the chocolatey goodness the drink gives, so don't use too much sugar!

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make this Bubble Tea vegan-friendly?

    Of course! You only have to use plant-based milk such as almond and soy milk, and you can already serve a vegan-friendly tea.

    Is this recipe caffeine-free?

    Unfortunately, cocoa powder contains caffeine, and the tea you will be using may also contain some. You will have to find a cocoa powder and tea that do not contain caffeine for this recipe to be called a caffeine-free beverage.
