Boba (Coconut Milk Black Tea with Tapioca Pearls) image

Boba tea, or bubble tea, is a popular drink that originated from Taiwan. I made this coconut variation because I had coconut cream on hand and wanted something different from the regular black milk tea variation. This coconut version tastes just like the one you'll find in a bubble tea cafe.

Time 2h10m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 cups cold water
½ (8.8 ounce) package tapioca starch balls
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
4 cups brewed black tea (such as Lipton®), chilled
1 (14 ounce) can coconut cream
12 ice cubes
1 cup milk
⅔ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot. Pour in tapioca and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and let balls sit in water for 25 minutes.
  • Return stockpot to the heat; simmer and stir for 25 minutes more. Remove from heat and let rest again until centers of the balls are no longer powder, another 25 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine brown sugar and white sugar in a large bowl. Pour tapioca balls into the sugar mixture. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes while preparing the tea.
  • Process tea, coconut cream, ice, milk, and sugar together in a blender until combined.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup of the tapioca into each tall glass and fill with tea. Enjoy with large straws to suck up the tapioca, or use spoons.
