Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Ube jam or 1 teaspoon Ube extract
  • 2 Black tea bags
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk or 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Tapioca pearls
  • 1 cup Ice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1-2 drops Purple food coloring (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut cream (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Taro powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Tapioca pearls (if making from scratch for syrup)

Instructions

  • If using quick-cooking tapioca pearls, follow package instructions (typically boil 3-5 minutes until tender-chewy). For regular boba, cook for 20-30 minutes, then rest. Drain and rinse under cool water.
  • Steep 2 black tea bags in 1/2 cup hot water for 5-7 minutes. Do not oversteep to avoid bitterness. Let cool slightly.
  • In a pitcher or large jar, combine cooled tea, 1/4 cup ube jam (warmed if needed) or 1 teaspoon ube extract, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (or sugar to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add optional purple food coloring. Blend or whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness. Add optional 1 tablespoon coconut cream or 1/2 teaspoon taro powder for richness.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup water. Simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and syrup thickens slightly. Add drained boba pearls to the warm syrup and stir to coat.
  • Spoon a generous amount of brown sugar boba pearls into tall glasses. Fill glasses two-thirds full with ice cubes. Pour the blended ube milk tea mixture over the ice and boba. Serve immediately with a wide-mouthed straw.
