Description
Kefir and pineapple boba tea combines two unique drinks. The kefir is tart, while the tea is bitter. The addition of pineapple rounds out the flavors and adds sweetness. This healthy drink will become your favorite in no time.
Ingredients
- 8 oz brewed jasmine tea (cooled to room temperature)
- 2 oz milk kefir
- 4 oz pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar tapioca pearls
- ice cubes
- pineapple slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Put the milk kefir, pineapple juice, and jasmine tea into a shaker filled with ice.
- Shake for 5-10 seconds until the ingredients are combined.
- Put ¼ cup of tapioca pearls in the bottom of the serving glass, followed by ice.
- Pour in the kefir-pineapple-tea mixture.
- Place a slice of pineapple on the side of the glass to garnish, and enjoy.
Notes
This is a versatile recipe. It is possible to use fruit other than pineapple. Some great ones to try are grapefruit, lemon, passion fruit, kiwi, lychee, orange, or strawberry.
Using fruit tea rather than jasmine tea will lessen the caffeine content and change the flavor slightly. Matcha or green tea will increase the caffeine and create a unique iced tea that is refreshing and nourishing.
If you prefer a kefir smoothie, blend the kefir-tea mixture with the fresh or frozen fruit instead of using it as a garnish.
Also, rather than using tapioca pearls, popping boba or fresh fruit can make great toppings.
