Ingredients
For The Blueberry Syrup
Make a blueberry syrup using fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, and water.
You can also use store-bought blueberry syrup if you are short on time.
For The Tea
I like to use green tea to make this drink, but you can also use black tea.
For The Boba Pearls
You will need dried boba pearls, which can be found in the Asian section of most grocery stores. They are also available online.
You will need sugar and honey to sweeten the boba pearls.
Others
You will also need milk and ice cubes.
I prefer regular dairy milk, but for a vegan version, you can use plant-based milk such as almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
How To Make Blueberry Boba Tea
Cook The Boba Pearls
Step 1: Add 1 cup of water and ¼ cup of granulated sugar to a pan.
Step 2: Heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
Step 3: Reduce the heat to low.
Step 4: Add ¼ cup of boba pearls to the pan and cook for 15 minutes.
Note – If you prefer more boba in your tea, you can increase the amount.
Step 5: Switch off the heat, add 2 tablespoon of honey to the pan, and stir well.
Step 6: Remove the pan from the heat and let the pearls soak in for 30 minutes.
Make The Blueberry Syrup
Step 7: Add ½ cup of blueberries, ¼ cup of granulated white sugar, and ¼ cup of water to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring frequently.
Step 8: Gently mash the blueberries with the back of a spoon as you cook.
Step 9: Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook the syrup for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 10: Remove the pan from the heat and pass the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer.
Step 11: Let the syrup cool down to room temperature.
Use as much as is required to make the blueberry tea boba and store the leftover in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Brew The Tea
Step 12: Heat 1 cup of water in a pan. Once it comes to a boil, switch off the heat and add 1 green tea bag.
Step 13: Set the pan aside and let the tea brew for 10 minutes.
Step 14: Discard the tea bag and let the brewed tea come down to room temperature.
Assemble The Blueberry Milk Tea
Step 15: Pour the green tea into a serving glass.
Step 16: Pour 1 cup of milk and 6 tablespoon of blueberry syrup over the tea and stir well.
Step 17: Take out the boba pearls from the cooking syrup using a slotted spoon and add them to the glass, along with a few ice cubes.
Step 18: Serve immediately, along with a large boba tea straw. These straws assist you in sucking up the tapioca balls from the bottom of your drink. Sip them through the straw and then chew them in your mouth before swallowing them with your drink.
