I ADORE bubble tea! Here is my favorit recipe: This Strawberry Milk Tea is AMAZING, it calls for simple ingredients and will be ready in just 2 minutes.
As soon as I saw boba in the store, I bought it to make this drink. It is super easy and perfect for summertime.
Strawberry Milk Tea (Boba)
The main flavor of this milk tea is strawberry. However, I don't use just strawberry; I like to use strawberry milk, so my drink turns out milky and creamy.
I also sweetened this recipe with a bit of sugar.
I also noticed that leaving boiled tapioca pearls longer than an hour anywhere will harden them and would be unpleasant to chew. Hence, I highly recommend preparing them just before serving.
You'll Need
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Teabag. I used black tea. You are pretty much free to choose any tea you would like to use in this recipe.
Strawberry Milk. It will be the one ingredient to give your tea its base flavoring. And yes, this recipe is using strawberry milk instead of actual mashed or processed strawberries.
Sugar. A little bit of sweetening is needed to improve the taste.
Tapioca Pearls. Tapioca pearls or boba is small pearls which I bought from Asian stores. They are made from tapioca starch which is gluten-free and then shaped into pearls.
How To Make Strawberry Milk Tea (Boba)?
One - Steep the tea: In a small jug, add half a cup of boiling water and the tea bag and let the tea infuse.
Two - Cook the boba: In a small saucepan, fill halfway with water and bring to a boil, then pour in the tapioca pearls.
Three: Stir to prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking to one another, cook for 10 minutes. After that, strain the pearls and rinse with cold water.
Four: Now discard the tea bag and stir in the sugar until it dissolves.
Five - Make the milk tea: Place the cooked pearls in a glass, then top with strawberry milk and tea, then serve.
Vegan And Dairy-Free Options
To make this recipe dairy-free and vegan, use homemade or store-bought non-dairy strawberry milk. To make homemade non-dairy strawberry milk, blend 1 cup of fresh strawberry with 1 cup of plant-based milk like oat milk, almond milk or coconut milk and then strain the mixture.
