MATCHA BUBBLE TEA RECIPE

Serving Size: 1

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 tsp (2g) Matcha green tea powder
1oz hot water
8oz choice of milk (whole, oat, almond are our favorite)
1/4 cup of tapioca
1 tbsp honey (or any sweetener of choice)
Hot water

How to make:

In a chawan matcha bowl or small bowl, whisk the matcha and (176°F/80°C – not boiling) hot water together.
In a small saucepan, boil the tapioca for 5 minutes or as per the directions.
When ready, drain the water from the tapioca. Then stir in honey on the tapioca over low heat for a minute and set aside. Be sure to stir frequently to avoid burning.
In another saucepan, heat up the milk to a slow boil.
Assemble the bubble milk tea by scooping the tapioca and honey syrup into a cup, pour the heated milk, and finally the matcha for a beautiful gradient effect.

Tips for enjoying:

Experiment using a milk frother to add an airy touch of milk foam
Avoid using boiling water when preparing the matcha or else it will be bitter
We recommend sifting the matcha to prevent clumps
Use more matcha powder for a bolder flavor!
For a cold drink, simply prepare the matcha first, set it aside to cool, and when assembling, add ice and use cold milk
