Ingredients
Scale
Tapioca Pearls
- 1 cup cooked tapioca pearls
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Tea Mixture
- 1 ½ cup boiling water
- 2 bags green tea
Mango Tea Blend
- 2 ripe mangoes, cubed or 2 cups frozen mango
- 1 ½ cups plant-based milk
- ¼ cup ice (optional)
Instructions
- Sweeten Tapioca Pearls: Mix the cooked tapioca pearls with the brown sugar until well coated and set aside to absorb the sweetness.
- Brew the Green Tea: Pour boiling water into a mug, add the green tea bags, and let them steep covered for 5 minutes to extract the flavor without bitterness. Remove tea bags and set tea aside.
- Blend Mango Tea Mixture: In a blender, combine the cubed or frozen mango, plant-based milk, and the brewed tea. Blend for 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Bubble Tea: Place the sweetened tapioca pearls into a glass, pour the mango tea blend over the pearls, and add ice if desired for a chilled beverage. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use warm water around 80°C (175°F) for brewing green tea to avoid bitterness.
- Opt for fresh ripe mango during season or high-quality frozen mango or Indian mango puree like Kesar for the best flavor out of season.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more sweetener if the mango blend is not sweet enough.
- Consume tapioca pearls within 3-4 hours of cooking to avoid them becoming tough and chewy; store pearls in liquid until use.
