Iced coffee bubble tea
Previously I’ve shared my coconut vanilla bubble tea/boba recipe, for those of you looking to add customized flavors like coconut and vanilla to your bubble tea. This time I’m posting my recipe for classicย original bubble tea, which is just coffee, milk, and tapioca pearls in its simplest form. This version of bubble tea is actually my favorite to order at tea shops, since the flavored bubble teas usually come withย more sugar than I prefer (unless I’m making it myself). If you’re curious about bubble tea and would like to try it, but don’t live in an area where it is offered, this classic version that I’m sharing today is the easiest way to make it at home with only 5 total ingredients.

Bubble tea supplies and ingredients.

The most common question that most people have is whatย ingredients and supplies are involved, so let’s go through what is needed.

  • Tapioca pearls. You can buy these online or in a brick-and-mortar Asian store. I prefer to order them online and these tapioca pearl bubbles with boba strawsย are my favorite. If you useย the ones that I linked, they are really easyย to cook if you follow the package instructions, and they turn out great. It’s the easiest foolproof method of cooking homemade boba.
  • Thick straws. You’ll need some extra thick straws to slurp up those tapioca pearls. These straws come with the tapioca pearls I linked above, or you can buy them separately.
  • Honey. You’ll need honey or a syrup to sweeten the tapioca pearls.
  • Coffee, milk, and ice cubes. For coffee, any brewed black coffee will work. For milk, I use whole milk since that’s my preference, butย you can use any kind. Ice cubes are recommendedย since bubble tea should be enjoyed as a chilled beverage.

i’ve only had bubble tea with well… tea. but this sounds like a good change of pace! i agree that most of the bubble tea’s out there (ahem, t-pumps in the bay area) are way too sweet, even if i ask for less sugar!
