Matcha Bubble Tea

Prepare the Tapioca Pearls

• Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.

• Add tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent sticking.

• Boil for 5-10 minutes (or follow package instructions) until the pearls are tender and chewy.

• Drain and rinse the pearls under cold water.

• Optional: Mix with 2 tbsp brown sugar to sweeten and prevent clumping.

Make the Matcha Base

• In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2 tbsp hot water until smooth and frothy. A bamboo whisk or milk frother works best.

• Heat the milk (or serve cold if preferred). Mix the milk with the whisked matcha.

• Sweeten with sugar or syrup to taste.

Assemble the Bubble Tea

• Divide the cooked tapioca pearls evenly between two glasses.

• Add ice cubes if serving cold.

• Pour the matcha mixture over the pearls.

Garnish and Serve

• Stir well before drinking. Use a wide straw for easy tapioca pearl sipping.

• Optionally, top with whipped cream or sprinkle extra matcha powder for decoration.
