To make really great Bubble tea with Powder, you just need a few things:

 

• A High-Quality Bubble Tea Powder
• Tea (or Hot water) – Click here for our Bubble Tea Brewing Guide
• A Shaker Cup
• A Stirrer
• Ice
• Tapioca Pearls (boba)

 

Making Bubble tea with Powder

Most bubble tea powders are 3 in 1, meaning that they have 3 ingredients already in them.  For example, taro bubble tea powder will have taro flavoring, non-dairy creamer, and sugar already mixed together in the bag.

Once you have found quality powder and tapioca (boba), now you need to get your method right.  Bubble Tea can be made with many different bases; Green Tea, Black Tea, Earl Grey Tea, or even hot water.  The base will change the taste of the drink and some flavored powders are better with certain bases than others.  One of my favorites is Jasmine Green Tea with Taro Bubble Tea powder!

 

Tapioca Pearls (boba) take the longest to cook, so you should start that first:

Once your boba is cooked, it’s now time to brew your tea (if you’re using water as the base, then just skip this step).  It’s really important that you use HOT tea or HOT water when mixing your Bubble Tea Powder. Otherwise, it won’t dissolve completely and will end up lumpy!

For a single serving, boil 350 ml (12oz) of water and add 6 grams of Green Tea.  Let it brew for 4 minutes.

This will make “double strength tea” because you will be mixing it with ice later, which will dilute it.

 

Bubble Tea with Powder Recipe

 

1. Scoop out two scoops of your flavored powder and put them into your shaker.
2. Add about 1/3 of the HOT tea and stir until the powder is completely dissolved.
3. Now add ice until the shaker is 1/2 full, add the rest of the tea, and shake it all up.
4. You want to shake it for at least 6 seconds to mix it all up.
5. Now pour it over your tapioca pearls, grab a fat straw and enjoy!

 

How to Make Bubble Tea with Fresh Milk

 

 

Making Bubble Milk Tea is a skill similar to being a barista or bartender, and there are many different ways to make bubble milk tea.  We already covered how to make bubble tea with powders so now we’re going to see how we can make it with fresh milk.

Most bubble milk tea is made with Assam or Ceylon Black Tea Leaves.
