- 2 ounces passion fruit syrup or puree
- 1/4 cup cooked tapioca pearls

Instructions
- Fill a shaking cup with ice cubes, rum, pineapple juice, jasmine tea, and passionfruit syrup and shake vigorously for ten seconds.
- Add the tapioca pearls to the serving cup.
- Pour the tiki passion cocktail on top and serve!
Notes
You don’t need pineapple or passionfruit if they’re unavailable at your local supermarket. Fruits like guava, grapefruit, mango, and lychee are all potent substitutes and can still make a delicious tiki bubble tea cocktail.
You can also make this tiki tea creamy by adding milk. However, instead of whole-fat milk, we recommend going for skimmed milk or vegan alternatives like oat milk, strawberry milk, or coconut milk to prevent the milk from curdling.
The recipe above doesn’t use sugar sweeteners as the fruits are already sweet. But if you need to make it sweeter, you can choose to add 2 tablespoons of agave syrup, brown sugar, or honey to the iced tea.
