Electric Yuzu Bubble Tea


  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Description

Impress your friends and family with this unique, tart, sweet, and refreshing bubble tea. If caffeine sensitive, try substituting a fruit tea like strawberry or peach.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 tbsp yuzu puree (divided)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 jasmine tea bag
  • 1 cup lemonade
  • 1 cup popping boba
  • 24 drops blue food coloring
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Bring ½ cup of water to a boil, then remove from heat. Add the tea bag and let steep for 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to over-steep jasmine tea, as it can be bitter. Let cool before assembling the bubble tea.
  2. Place half of the popping boba in the bottom of each serving glass.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of yuzu puree to each serving glass.
  4. Add a handful of ice to each glass.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of jasmine tea over the ice.
  6. Pour ½ cup of lemonade into each glass.
  7. Squeeze 1-2 drops of blue food coloring into each glass.
  8. Stir with boba straw to combine, and enjoy!

Notes

Electric yuzu is typically served with passionfruit popping boba. You can also try coconut, peach, pear, lychee, or strawberry boba. You could also try adding sweetened tapioca pearls instead of popping boba.

You can substitute Assam tea for jasmine tea. Use 2 Assam tea bags to bring out the strong black tea flavor. Yuzu also pairs well with matcha and green tea.

Add 1/4 cup of coconut milk when assembling the beverage if you prefer a milk tea.

The Bubbleology electric yuzu is carbonated. Though there’s no easy way to replicate this at home, you could add a few tablespoons of sparkling water to your serving glass.
