    About Blueberry Boba Tea (Blueberry Milk Bubble Tea)

    This homemade Blueberry Boba Tea (Blueberry Milk Bubble Tea) tastes just like your favorite cafe and can be made at a fraction of the cost using simple ingredients.

    It is easy to make at home, needs a few simple ingredients, uses no artificial flavorings, and tastes much better than store-bought ones.

    Just like my Chai Tea Boba and Matcha Tea Boba, this Blueberry Tea Boba is also very refreshing.

    Blueberry Bubble Tea has freshness from blueberries, creaminess from milk, and not to forget the chewy texture of the boba pearls.

    Enjoy it on a hot summer day to freshen you up or make it to serve for your barbeque brunches.

    This recipe can be easily scaled and made vegan too.

    Ingredients

    For The Blueberry Syrup

    Blueberry syrup ingredients

    Make a blueberry syrup using fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, and water.

    If you are short on time, you can use store-bought blueberry syrup as well.

    For The Tea

    Tea brewing ingredients for blueberry boba tea

    I like to use green tea to make this drink but you can use black tea as well.

    For The Boba Pearls

    Boba cooking ingredients

    You will need dried boba pearls, which you can find in the Asian section of any grocery store. 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 to use regular dairy milk but you can use any plant-based milk such as almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or oats milk for a vegan version.

    How To Make Blueberry Boba Tea

    Cook The Boba Pearls

    Add 1 cup of water and ¼ cup of granulated sugar to a pan.

    Boba pearls added to boiling water.

    Switch off the heat and add 2 tablespoon honey to the pan and stir well.

    Remove the pan from the heat and let the pearls soak in for 30 minutes.

    Cooked boba pearls soaking in syrup.

    Make The Blueberry Syrup

    Add ½ cup blueberries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup water to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring frequently.

    Blueberries, sugar and water added to a pan.

    Gently mash the blueberries with the back of a spoon while cooking.

    Cooked berries.

    Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook the syrup for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

    Syrup cooked for some time.

    Remove the pan from the heat and pass the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer.

    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

    Heat 1 cup of water in a pan. Once it comes to a boil, switch off the stove and add 1 green tea bag.

    Water heating in a pan.

    Set the pan aside and let the tea brew for 10 minutes.

    Assemble The Blueberry Boba

    Pour the green tea into a serving glass.

    Pour 1 cup of milk and 6 tablespoon of blueberry syrup over the tea and stir well.

    Green tea, milk and blueberry syrup added to a glass.

    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.

    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.

    Storage Suggestions

    This tea cannot be assembled ahead of time.

    You can instead store the blueberry syrup in the fridge in an air-tight container for 1-2 weeks so that it comes in handy while making this refreshing Blueberry Boba.

    You can also brew the green tea a few hours prior to serving this drink. Just assemble the tea when ready to serve it.
