  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1x

Description

Put a twist on your favorite boba tea recipes by using this floral-infused tea as the base. This recipe is easy, delicious, and indulgent.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 jasmine green tea bag (or 1 tsp loose-leaf jasmine tea leaves)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 3 tbsp half and half
  • 2 tbsp simple syrup, honey, or sweetener of your choice
  • 1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca pearls
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions. Run them under cold water and set them aside.
  2. Steep the jasmine green tea in hot water for 3 to 7 minutes. Remove the bag and set the tea aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Mix the half-and-half, simple syrup, and tea.
  4. In a serving cup, add the cooked boba pearls and top with ice.
  5. Pour the milk tea mixture into the serving cup.
  6. Adjust the sweetness to your liking, and enjoy!

Notes

As with all bubble tea recipes, you can use whole milk or dairy-free milk if you prefer. Soy milk and oat milk are two non-dairy favorites.

You can prepare the jasmine tea in advance and cool it in the fridge so that you won’t need to pause mid-recipe.

Be sure to have a wide straw to enjoy the chewy tapioca pearls with each sip!
