Strawberry Matcha Boba
This refreshing strawberry matcha boba is made with layers of strawberry milk, matcha, and chewy tapioca pearls!
Ingredients
- 50 g tapioca pearls
- 25 g brown sugar
- 3 large strawberries, roughly diced
- 300g milk, dairy or non-dairy
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder, ceremonial grade
- 55 g hot water
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add all of the tapioca pearls at once. Give them a stir to break up the clumps. Boil for 15 minutes.
- Cover the pot, remove it from the heat, and let it sit for another 15 minutes.
- Drain the water and transfer the pearls to a small bowl. Add brown sugar and stir to mix until the sugar dissolves into a syrup. Set aside.
- In a serving glass, add the diced strawberries. Use a muddler, wooden spoon, or flat end of a rolling pin to muddle the strawberries until they become a rough puree.
- Add the cooked tapioca pearls along with the brown sugar syrup to the glass.
- Fill the glass halfway with ice and pour in milk until about ¾ full. Stir to mix it into strawberry milk and to loosen the pearls. You can keep the layers separate if you prefer.
- In a chawan or small bowl, sift in matcha powder. Add hot water and use a bamboo whisk to whisk in an "M" motion for 15 seconds until frothy.
- Pour the matcha on top of the strawberry milk layer. Serve layered but stir to mix before drinking!
