Description
A refreshing and delicious Mango Bubble Tea recipe that combines sweet mango, green tea, and chewy tapioca pearls for a perfect homemade boba drink using plant-based milk.
Ingredients
Scale
Boba Pearls
- 1 cup cooked tapioca pearls
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Tea
- 1½ cup boiling water
- 2 green tea bags
Mango Tea Mixture
- 2 ripe mangoes, cubed or 2 cups frozen mango
- 1½ cups plant-based milk
- ¼ cup ice (optional)
Instructions
- Sweeten Boba: Mix the cooked tapioca pearls with the brown sugar in a small bowl, stirring well to combine. Set aside to soak for enhanced flavor.
- Brew Tea: Pour the boiling water into a mug, add the green tea bags, and cover. Let it steep for 5 minutes until infused. Remove the tea bags and set the brewed tea aside to cool slightly.
- Blend Mango Tea: In a blender, combine the cubed or frozen mango, plant-based milk, and the brewed green tea. Blend on high for 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Drink: Place the sweetened tapioca pearls into serving glasses. Pour the blended mango tea mixture over the pearls. Add ice cubes if desired for a chilled beverage.
Notes
- Use warm water around 80C (175F) when brewing green tea to prevent bitterness.
- Use high-quality mango such as frozen mango or Indian mango puree during off-season for the best flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more brown sugar or sweetener if the mango isn’t naturally sweet enough.
- Consume tapioca pearls within 3-4 hours of cooking and keep them in liquid to maintain their chewy texture.
