Method
- Bring water to a heat of 176ºF/80ºC on the stove top or use a temperature-controlled kettle. Don’t boil the water, or else the tea is likely to become bitter. (Alternatively steep the tea according to your personal preference).
- You can steep the tea leaves (or tea bag) in the hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaves.
- Add the taro powder and mix well. Set aside to cool. Pouring it into a shaker and shaking it is an even better option! We have a plastic or stainless steel option available.
- Place the cooked tapioca pearls into one or two BTE cups or tall glasses.
- Cover the tapioca with the ice cubes.
- Pour the brewed tea mixture over the ice cubes and then pour the milk over the tapioca and ice cubes.
- For extra sweetness, cover with our simple syrup or condensed milk.
- Serve with colourful straws and enjoy!
