Description
Today I want to share the recipe of one of my favorite beverages of all-time, a Homemade Low-Sugar Bubble Milk Tea!
Bubble tea/boba (珍珠奶茶) is a popular beverage that originated from Taiwan, and the yummy tapioca pearls that typically sit at the bottom of the tea are the reason why it’s called ‘bubble tea’.
I often find the bubble tea sold at the bubble tea shops are too sweet for me (even after asking for 50% sugar), which gives this beverage a bad rep for ‘unhealthy’ due to the high sugar level. Now that we are making it ourselves at home, we can adjust the sugar amount how ever we want (for me, it’s less sweet), which is a huge plus!
When you go to a boba shop, there are a variety of flavors available, you can also add fruits, taro, etc. You can make all of these at home as well, but my favorite is the original flavor which is simply milk, tea and pearls. For the pearls, I bought them from Amazon.
In the winter, its great as a hot and warming drink, but in the summer, it is a refreshing iced drink. Either way, this bubble tea is delicious.
You can use different teas and vary the amount of milk and sugar to make the bubble tea that is perfect for you!
