Ingredients
Tapioca Pearls
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup tapioca pearls (boba)
Milk Tea
- 2 cups water
- 3 tea bags of black tea
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Tapioca Pearls
- Bring water to a boil in a small pot.
- Drop in the tapioca pearls and they should immediately float to the top. If they don’t, you may have a bad batch.
- With the lid off, cook the pearls on medium heat for 12-15 minutes until dark brown in colour.
- Remove the pot from the heat, cover with a lid, and let steam for another 12-15 minutes until the pearls are black, glossy, and chewy.
- Scoop the tapioca pearls out and drop them into a bowl of ice water. Set aside.
Milk Tea
- Bring water to a boil in a small pot.
- Add in the tea bags and remove the pot from the heat. Cover with a lid and steep for 5 minutes.
- Discard the used tea bags.
- Return the pot to medium heat and add the brown sugar.
- Stir occasionally and heat for 3-5 minutes or until all the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of tapioca pearls to each popsicle mold.
- Pour the milk tea into each mold.
- Give the pearls a quick stir as you insert each popsicle stick.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, run the sides of the popsicle mold under warm water to loosen popsicles.
Notes
- The tapioca pearls do get harder in the freezer over time so these popsicles are best consumed within a few days of freezing
