Refreshing Taiwanese taro bubble tea with sweet boba pearls is a creamy and cool treat for summer.
Ingredients:
  • 3 small taro roots, peeled and halved
  • 2.5 cups ice, or to taste, divided
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.75 cup water
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons honey, divided
  • 0.25 cup tapioca pearls (boba)
Instructions:
  • Place the taro roots in a small pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, around 12 minutes. Drain the taro.
  • Mix the taro roots with 1/2 cup of ice in a bowl and allow them to chill.
  • Blend together the cooled taro roots, 2 cups of ice, milk, 3/4 cup of water, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of honey in a blender until smooth.
  • In a saucepan, boil 2 cups of water. Add tapioca pearls and gently stir until they float. Cook for 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for an additional 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain and stir in 1 teaspoon of honey.
  • Pour the blended mixture evenly into 2 glasses, then top each glass with an equal amount of tapioca pearls.
