Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup boba pearls
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp white granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cups water (1/2 cup separated)
- 3 bags green tea or black tea
- 1/2 cup passion fruit puree (see note below)
- 1/2 cup dairy
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the tapioca pearls according to the package directions. Drain the boba and rinse them with cold water. Set aside.
- Add ½ cup of water to a smaller pot. Add the brown sugar, white sugar, and honey to the water and heat on medium for 5-7 minutes. Whisk continuously until all the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the boba pearls and stir so that the syrup coats the pearls. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Steep the tea bags in 1 ½ cups of hot water for 3-5 minutes (the longer you let it steep, the stronger it will be). Let the tea cool completely.
- Add about ¼ cup of boba pearls to each glass. Then pour in ¼ cup dairy, half of the brewed tea, ¼ cup passion fruit puree, and 3 to 6 tablespoons of the excess homemade sugar syrup from the pearls.
- Add the ice and boba straw, and enjoy!
Notes
For convenience, you might want to use frozen passion fruit puree. Let it thaw before making your tea.
If you want to make the puree from fresh passion fruit: cut the fruit in half, scoop out the insides (avoiding the white lining), pulse the mixture in the blender for a few seconds, and pour the mixture through a mesh strainer.
If you can not find passion fruit puree or real fruit, you can use passion fruit juice as a last resort.
