Bubble tea, also known as boba tea, has taken the world by storm with its sweet, chewy tapioca pearls and refreshing tea flavors. But have you ever tried Mochi Bubble Milk Tea? This delightful twist on the classic bubble tea adds a unique texture and flavor to the beloved drink. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of making Mochi Bubble Milk Tea right in your own kitchen.
What You’ll Need:
For the Mochi:
1 cup glutinous rice flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Potato starch or cornstarch for dusting
For the Tea Base:
2 black tea bags
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup milk (you can use dairy or non-dairy options)
For the Tapioca Pearls:
1/2 cup tapioca pearls
Water for boiling
2 tablespoons sugar
For Assembly:
Ice cubes
Extra sugar for adjusting sweetness
Instructions:
1. Making Mochi:
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix glutinous rice flour and sugar together.
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until it forms a smooth batter.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes a sticky dough-like consistency.
Let the mochi dough cool slightly, then dust a clean surface with potato starch or cornstarch.
Transfer the mochi dough to the starched surface and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
2. Brewing the Tea:
Steep the black tea bags in 1 cup of hot water for about 5 minutes. Adjust the steeping time for stronger or milder tea.
Remove the tea bags and stir in sugar until it’s dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
3. Preparing Tapioca Pearls:
Boil water in a pot and add tapioca pearls. Cook for about 20 minutes or until they become soft and chewy.
Stir in sugar to sweeten the pearls, then drain and rinse them under cold water.
4. Assembling the Mochi Bubble Milk Tea:
Fill a glass with ice cubes.
Add the mochi balls and tapioca pearls to the glass.
Pour the sweetened black tea over the ice, leaving some room at the top.
Add milk to the tea, again leaving some space at the top.
If desired, adjust the sweetness with additional sugar, stirring until well combined.
Give your Mochi Bubble Milk Tea a good stir, insert a wide straw, and enjoy!
