Ingredients
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 cups tapioca pearls (¼-inch wide)
FOR EACH BUBBLE TEA
½ cup chilled tapioca pearls
1 cup crushed ice
1 cup canned litchi nuts in syrup
¾ cup coconut milk
¼ cup milk
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Preparation
- Step 1
In a saucepan, combine the sugars with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil; then turn off the heat. In a pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the tapioca and cook until tender, about 8 minutes if parboiled. Drain. Mix the pearls with the sugar mixture and chill.
- Step 2
To make a drink, spoon the pearls into a large glass. In a blender, purée the ice, litchis, coconut milk, milk and lime juice. When smooth and frothy, pour over the pearls and stick in a straw.
Private Notes
Comments
A truly insane amount of tapioca pearls. Also cooking time depends greatly on which brand or type of pearl you get. Tapioca surplus notwithstanding, a great and very adaptable recipe.
Can I make the pearls and refrigerate them in advance of the tea?
