DIY Boba Milk Tea Basics | Tapioca Pearl Milktea | Bubble Tea

DIY milk tea is a much better option in order to cut all the added sugar in half and steer away from the unwanted additives, especially those found in the instant (and flavored) powdered ones.

Ingredient

60 grams

your favorite powdered milk or use cream

1/2 tsp

crushed graham / oreos / cookies (optional)

stevia packet or use sugar, to taste (optional)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

TEA- Boil 2L of water or more if you prefer lighter tea taste. I used a 60g tea bag and steeped it in the boiled water.

* Step 2

Boba Pearls- cook according to package instructions. The Taiwanese brown sugar pearls I bought cook for 30 minutes, but I did it in 20 minutes only, as I prefer a chewy texture.

* Step 3

(Boba...) Turn off heat and rest for 30 minutes. Discard water. Pour in new water, shake lightly (rinse) and drain. Repeat until water is clear. Drain and transfer to a container.

* Step 4

How To Store Boba: COOKED- Cook a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water) then add to the pearls if you want it to last longer in the fridge (approx 3 days). Refrigerate and let it soak. Stir every now and then to keep them from forming into one big blob lol.

* Step 5

How To Store Boba: UNCOOKED- Store in a vacuum sealed container or bag. Then keep it in a dark, cool and dry cupboard.

* Step 6

Making Your Milk Tea- in a tall glass, add your sinkers- these are your boba, nata de coco, jello and the like.

* Step 7

Toppers for presentation- add a layer of powdered milk (caution- since its cold, its hard to stir in, but i like the extra taste of it.) or use cream or whipped if u don't mind the added calories and fat.

* Step 8

If you prefer sweet, add syrup or sugar as to your liking. As for me, I drink as is, (sinkers and toppers are already sweet) or add a bit of stevia. Stir and enjoy!
