Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Taro powder
• 1 cup Hot water
• 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 1 cup Quick-cooking tapioca pearls
• 4 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the tapioca pearls (boba). In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.

Step 3

Cover the pot and let the pearls cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.

Step 4

Drain the pearls using a strainer and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 5

Transfer the pearls to a small bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Set aside to let them soak and sweeten.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of taro powder with 1 cup of hot water. Stir until completely dissolved.

Step 7

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar into the taro mixture, stir until dissolved.

Step 8

In a blender, combine the taro mixture, 1 cup of milk, and 1 cup of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Divide the sweetened tapioca pearls between two glasses.

Step 10

Pour the blended taro mixture over the pearls.

Step 11

Stir gently and serve with a wide straw. Enjoy your homemade taro boba tea!
