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:

1. In a chawan matcha bowl or small bowl, whisk the matcha and (176°F/80°C – not boiling) hot water together. If you don’t have a whisk, here are alternative ways to prepare matcha.
2. In a small saucepan, boil the tapioca for 5 minutes or as per the directions.
3. 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.
4. In another saucepan, heat up the milk to a slow boil.
5. 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
