Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked tapioca pearls
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 ½ cup boiling water
- 2 bags green tea
- 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 thoroughly and set aside to absorb the sweetness.
- Brew the tea: Pour the boiling water into a mug, add the green tea bags, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes before removing the bags. Set the brewed tea aside to cool slightly.
- Blend mango tea mixture: In a blender, combine the cubed or frozen mango, plant-based milk, and brewed green tea. Blend for 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the bubble tea: Place the sweetened tapioca pearls into serving glasses. Pour the blended mango tea mixture over the pearls. Add ice if desired for a chilled beverage.
Notes
- Use warm water around 80°C/175°F for steeping green tea to prevent bitterness.
- Choose the best mango available; frozen mango or high-quality mango puree works well out of season.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more brown sugar or sweetener if the mango is not sweet enough.
- Consume tapioca pearls within 3-4 hours of cooking and keep them submerged in liquid to maintain their softness.
