How to Make Fruit Bubble Tea

Essential Ingredients

• Tea base: strong black or green tea (cooled), or a delicate base for lighter fruit notes
• Fruit: purées/juices (mango, strawberry, passionfruit, peach, etc.)
• Sweetener: cane sugar or agave—start low, add to taste
• Milk (optional): dairy or plant (oat for creamy body; almond for lighter feel)
• Pearls: chewy tapioca or fruit popping boba
• Ice & straws: wide straws only if you add toppings

Step-by-Step Guide

Brew strong tea and chill, cook pearls, then layer ice → pearls → tea + fruit → (milk optional), sweeten to taste, and stir.

• Brew & chill: Make tea strong (ice dilutes it). Chill 2–3 hours.
• Cook pearls: Boil tapioca until tender; rinse; lightly sweeten. (Popping boba needs no cooking.)
• Build: In a tall glass, add ice → pearls → tea → fruit purée/juice → optional milk.
• Sweeten: Start low; cold drinks taste sweeter.
• Serve: Wide straw only if you’ve added pearls.
