Gathering Together Ingredients for Bubble Tea

D.Schmidt

• 1 package tapioca pearls (made for bubble tea)
• Thai red tea OR regular black or orange pekoe tea
• 1 ripe mango (OR substitute 2-3 cups frozen mango)
• natural syrup, such as maple syrup (OR substitute sugar)
• 1-2 cans coconut milk (1 can will serve 2 people)
• crushed ice or ice cubes

Optional Ingredients:

• regular milk or cream, OR good-tasting soy milk, OR sweetened condensed milk
• straws (bubble tea straws work best)

Tips on Ingredients/Substitutions:

• It's best to use the black, green, or multi-colored tapioca pearls made specifically for bubble tea. These are available in most Asian food stores, and also online. Regular tapioca pearls will disappoint, as they fall apart when cooked.
• A good-tasting green tea (such as jasmine green tea) can be substituted for red/black/orange pekoe tea, if desired.
• Use one of the milk options listed above if you prefer your bubble tea creamy.
