Ingredients
- 50 grams black tapioca pearls
- 500 ml water
- 2 tablespoons or bags strong black tea (loose leaf or bags)
- 1 scoop whey protein powder
- 200 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the tapioca pearls. In a medium saucepan, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 2
Once the pearls float to the top, reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Turn off the heat and let the pearls sit in the hot water for another 5 minutes. This will ensure they are fully cooked and chewy.
Step 4
Drain the pearls and rinse them briefly with cold water. Set aside.
Step 5
Prepare the black tea by bringing 300 ml of water to a boil. Add the black tea and steep for 5 minutes to ensure a strong brew. Remove the tea leaves or bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
Step 6
In a blender, combine the cooled black tea, whey protein powder, almond milk, and honey. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Step 7
Divide the cooked tapioca pearls into two serving glasses. Add a cup of ice cubes over the pearls in each glass.
Step 8
Pour the blended tea and protein mixture over the ice and pearls, dividing it evenly between the two glasses.
Step 9
Stir the drinks gently with a straw to mix the pearls and milk tea. Serve immediately with wide bubble tea straws and enjoy your high protein classic bubble milk tea!
