Chocolate Boba Tea- 80ml warm milk
- 2/3 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 2/3 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate (approx. 50-60g), chopped
- 280ml cold milk
- 3/4 cup tapioca pearls (approx. 60-70g)
- A little honey or syrup (to taste)
- Ice cubes, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Add the tapioca pearls to boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Once the pearls float to the surface, reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil for about 7 more minutes, until they become translucent. This indicates they are cooked.
Step 2
Turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let the pearls steam for about 10 minutes. This resting period helps them achieve a wonderfully chewy and soft texture.
Step 3
Rinse the cooked tapioca pearls under cold running water to cool them down. Drain any excess water and then toss them with honey or syrup. This prevents them from clumping together and adds a lovely sweetness. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Step 4
In a bowl, pour the 80ml of warm milk. Add the chopped dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and sugar. The warmth of the milk will help the chocolate melt smoothly.
Step 5
Using a whisk or spoon, stir everything together until the chocolate is completely melted and you have a smooth, thick chocolate sauce. Ensure there are no lumps for a perfectly integrated flavor.
Step 6
Spoon the prepared tapioca pearls into your serving glass, filling it about three-quarters of the way. Distribute them evenly at the bottom.
Step 7
Add ice cubes generously on top of the tapioca pearls. Plenty of ice will keep your boba tea refreshingly cold.
Step 8
Slowly pour the prepared warm chocolate sauce over the ice. Aim to fill about one-third of the glass with the chocolate mixture.
Step 9
Now, carefully pour the 280ml of cold milk along the side of the glass. Pouring gently will create a beautiful layered gradient effect as the milk meets the chocolate.
Step 10
Finally, use a narrow spoon or straw to stir the drink thoroughly from the bottom up. Mix well until the chocolate and milk are completely combined for a uniform taste.
Step 11
Your delicious homemade chocolate boba tea is ready! To ensure the best texture, enjoy your boba tea within 1 hour of making it, as the tapioca pearls can firm up over time. Sip and savor your delightful home cafe moment!
