Ingredients

• 2 bags unsweetened black tea
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 tablespoons xylitol or erythritol
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 0.5 cup boiling water for boba
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 10 drops liquid stevia
• 1 cup ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Start by steeping the black tea bags in 2 cups of boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, then remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool.

Step 2

To make the low-carb boba, combine the tapioca starch, coconut flour, and xanthan gum in a bowl.

Step 3

Gradually add 0.5 cup boiling water to the flour mixture while stirring vigorously until a dough forms. Allow it to cool until you can handle it comfortably.

Step 4

Roll the dough into small balls, about 1/4 inch in diameter, to form boba pearls.

Step 5

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add the boba pearls, cooking for about 10-12 minutes until they float to the surface and become translucent.

Step 6

Drain the cooked boba pearls and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled tea, xylitol or erythritol, and liquid stevia, stirring until the sweeteners are completely dissolved.

Step 8

Add unsweetened almond milk to the sweetened tea mixture and stir well.

Step 9

Fill two glasses with ice cubes, divide the homemade boba pearls evenly between the glasses, and pour the milk tea mixture over the boba.

Step 10

Stir gently to mix and enjoy your refreshing low-carb bubble milk tea.
