Thai Milk Tea Boba is a creamy, sweet, and chewy bubble tea made with strong Thai tea, condensed milk, and tapioca pearls. It’s a refreshing and fun beverage perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons Thai tea mix
  • 600 g boiling water
  • 6 tablespoons condensed milk
  • 100 g tapioca pearls
  • 25 g brown sugar
  • Ice (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Place the Thai tea mix in a tea sock and pour 600 g boiling water over it. Let steep for 10 minutes.

  4. Cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for another 15 minutes.
  5. Drain the pearls and stir in brown sugar until dissolved. Set aside.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less condensed milk or brown sugar.
  • Use coconut milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Serve immediately after assembling for best texture.
  • Tapioca pearls are best when fresh and do not freeze well.
  • Use a wide straw for easier sipping of the boba.
