Description
This drink combines the earthy flavor of a matcha latte with the sweet crunch of cookies. While there’s no doubt that it is a sweet, indulgent drink, the matcha flavors help to round out the sweetness.

Units
Scale
- 3/4 tsp matcha tea powder
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 3.5 ounces whole milk
- 4 tsp brown sugar simple syrup (or any soluble sweetener)
- 1/4 cup cooked tapioca pearls
- 2 drops vanilla extract
- 5 crushed Milano cookies
- ice cubes
- whipped cream and more crushed cookies (for garnish)
Instructions
- Add the matcha powder and hot water to a mixing bowl and whisk until frothy.
- Pour the matcha tea into the blender, along with vanilla extract, milk, and crushed cookies. Blend until smooth.
- Fill the shaker with ice, combine the blended mixture with your simple syrup, and shake.
- Taste and add more simple syrup if needed.
- Place the tapioca pearls at the bottom of the serving glass and then fill it with ice.
- Strain the mixture over the ice and top the beverage with whipped cream and crushed cookies. Add a boba straw, and enjoy!
Notes
If you want to get really creative (and sweet), you could use ice cream instead of milk. This would give it more of a milkshake consistency.
Technically, you could mix all the ingredients in the blender and skip the shaking part. However, shaking the beverage gives it a frothy and bubbly texture that bubble teas are known for.
