    About Green Tea Boba (Matcha Milk Bubble Tea)

    Green Tea Boba (Matcha Milk Bubble Tea, Green Bubble Tea) is a refreshing drink, that can instantly freshen you up on a hot summer day.

    Matcha tea is mixed with milk, ice, and tapioca pearls to make this delightful Green Boba Tea. It has creaminess from milk, sweetness from sugar, and an earthy taste from the matcha green tea powder.

    This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled and made vegan.

    Ingredients

    Boba cooking ingredients

    Matcha Green Tea – It is a green tea powder that is quite popular in East Asia. Use high-quality matcha green tea powder for the best taste.

    You can easily get it in any large grocery store or you can order it online.

    Boba (Tapioca Pearls) – You can find dried boba pearls in the Asian section of any grocery store. You can also order these online.

    Milk – I used regular dairy milk to make this drink but you can use any plant-based milk such as almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, etc to make it vegan.

    Sugar – Adjust according to your taste. You can also use honey, or maple syrup to sweeten the tea.

    How To Make Green Tea Boba

    Cook The Boba Pearls

    Add 2 cups of water and ½ cup granulated sugar to a pan.

    Water and sugar added to a pan.

    Heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.

    Reduce the heat to low.

    Add ½ cup of boba pearls to the pan and cook for 15 minutes.

    Boba pearls added to boiling water.

    Switch off the heat and add 4 tablespoon honey to the pan and stir well.

    Honey added to the pan.

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

    Cooked boba pearls soaking in syrup.

    Prepare The Matcha Tea

    Add 1 teaspoon matcha green tea, 2 tablespoon sugar, and ¼ cup of cold water to a blender and blend until everything comes together.

    Matcha green tea, sugar and water added to a blender.
    Smooth paste made.

    Assemble The Tea

    Take out the boba pearls from the syrup using a slotted spoon and divide them between the two glasses.

    Cooked boba pearls added to a glass.

    Add a few ice cubes to each glass.

    Ice cubes added to the glass.

    Top the glasses with 1 cup of milk.

    Milk added to the glass.

    Now pour the green tea mixture over the milk and stir well.

    Matcha green tea poured in the glass.

    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.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    This tea cannot be assembled in advance however, you can cook the boba pearls and prepare the green tea and refrigerate it for up to a day. Then assemble it just before serving.

    The matcha green tea doesn’t mix with the liquid very easily. Hence blending it in a blender with water makes the process easier and you get a smooth tea paste.

    You can use the leftover syrup to make cocktails or mocktails.
