Ingredients

• 200 grams Taro root (peeled and diced)
• 500 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk (or any sugar-free plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, for slight sweetness)
• 100 grams Tapioca pearls (boba)
• 1000 milliliters Water (for cooking tapioca pearls)
• 1 cup Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the taro root into small pieces.

Step 2

In a pot over medium heat, add the diced taro root and enough water to cover it. Boil for 20 minutes or until the taro is soft and fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the taro and transfer it to a blender. Add the unsweetened almond milk and blend until smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon of stevia or monk fruit sweetener if desired. Set aside.

Step 4

In another pot, bring 1000 milliliters of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir immediately to prevent them from sticking together.

Step 5

Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions, usually around 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain them and rinse under cold water. Transfer them to a bowl of cold water to keep them chewy until use.

Step 7

Assemble the boba drink by dividing the cooked tapioca pearls between two glasses.

Step 8

Add ice cubes on top of the tapioca pearls, then pour the blended taro mixture over the ice.

Step 9

Stir gently and serve with wide straws for sipping the pearls!
