Elevate your boba tea with creamy coconut for a tropical twist on classic black milk tea.
Ingredients:
  • 7 cups cold water
  • 0.5 (8.8 ounce) package tapioca starch balls
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 4 cups brewed black tea (such as Lipton®), chilled
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut cream
  • 12 ice cubes
  • 1 cup milk
Instructions:
  • In a large stockpot, bring water to a boil. Add tapioca and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and let the tapioca balls sit in water for 25 minutes.
  • Return the stockpot to the heat and continue simmering and stirring for an additional 25 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to rest for another 25 minutes until the centers of the balls are no longer powdery. Drain excess liquid before serving.
  • In a large bowl, mix brown sugar and white sugar together. Add tapioca balls to the sugar mixture. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 15 minutes while you prepare the tea.
  • Blend together the tea, coconut cream, ice, milk, and sugar until smooth.
  • In each tall glass, generously scoop 1/4 cup of tapioca pearls and top it off with tea. Savor these delightful treats by slurping the tapioca through oversized straws or using spoons for a delightful experience.
