Cantaloupe Boba

Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 teabag green tea⁣
  • ½ cup quick-cooking tapioca pearls⁣
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar ⁣
  • ½ ripe cantaloupe ⁣
  • 1 cup milk of choice⁣
  • 1 handful ice⁣

Directions:

  1. Add tea bag to 1 cup (235ml) of boiled water. Let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the bag and let the tea cool down completely (preferably in the fridge).⁣
  2. Add tapioca pearls to a pan full of boiling hot water. Let simmer for about 5-6 minutes. If you want the pearls to be softer, cook for longer. If you want them chewier, cook for less long.⁣
  3. Remove from heat and strain through a sieve. If you don’t have a sieve, simply scoop out the balls with a spoon/spatula. Immediately cover with sugar. Give it a good stir. Set aside.⁣
  4. Peel cantaloupe and remove the seeds. Cut into small pieces and add to a blender. Add milk and blend until completely smooth. Strain through a sieve to remove the pulp.
  5. To serve, add tapioca balls to a large glass. Serve with crushed ice if desired. Then add (cooled down) tea and cantaloupe/ milk mixture. ⁣Stir well and enjoy!⁣
