Instructions
Homemade Tapioca Pearls
- Boil water in a kettle.
- Add tapioca flour to a mixing bowl.
- Pour the boiling water into a small non-stick pan, add maple syrup or sugar, molasses, and vanilla puree and stir over low heat until the liquid is uniform.
- Add 3 tablespoons of the flour to the syrup formed in the pan and mix well until everything uniforms into a kind of sticky dough.
- Place the tapioca dough formed in the pan to a floured bowl and wait a few minutes for the dough to be cool to the touch.
- Transfer the remaining flour together with the tapioca dough to a clean work surface and start kneading until all the flour is absorbed, and the uniform dough is obtained.
- Roll the dough into a ball and divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each piece into the shape of a thin snake. With a knife cut the snake to small cubes of about half an inch in size.
- Roll all the cubes into a ball shape and place them in a tapioca-floured bowl so that the balls won't stick to one another.
- Boil water in a pot and cook the pearls. Stir immediately to prevent sticking. Cook for about 20 minutes. Strain the pearls under cold water and set them aside.
Assembling The Bubble Milk Tea
- Dissolve the blue pea powder in the boiling water along with the maple syrup. Place the tea infusion inside to flavor the water for 10 minutes. You can also use a natural blueberry-flavored extract instead of tea.
- After 10 minutes add a glass of cold water to the infusion.
- Into tall glasses pour about 4 tablespoons of tapioca pearls to the bottom of the cup. Add ice. Pour the blue tea infusion. And add plant milk o choice.
