Refreshing and sweet Honeydew Bubble Tea featuring chewy tapioca pearls soaked in brown sugar syrup, combined with creamy milk and fresh honeydew melon for a delightful homemade bubble tea experience.

Ingredients

Tapioca Pearls

  • 100 g tapioca boba pearls
  • 50 g brown sugar

Bubble Tea Base

  • 400 g fresh honeydew melon (about half a small honeydew), cut into chunks
  • 20 g granulated sugar, to taste
  • 400 mL milk
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Cook Tapioca Pearls: Fill a medium pot about two-thirds full with water, cover it, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add all tapioca pearls and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Boil uncovered for 15 minutes.
  2. Set Tapioca Pearls: After boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the pearls sit for another 15 minutes to fully cook and soften.
  3. Sweeten Tapioca Pearls: Drain the water from the tapioca pearls and while warm, stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved and the pearls are coated. Set aside for later use.
  4. Prepare Honeydew Milk: Add honeydew melon chunks, granulated sugar, and milk to a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble Bubble Tea: Place about 100 g of the brown sugar-coated tapioca pearls into each serving glass. Add ice to fill about half the glass. Pour the blended honeydew milk over the ice and pearls. Optionally, garnish with extra honeydew chunks. Stir well before drinking for a perfect bubble tea experience.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar quantities based on desired sweetness.
  • Use fresh milk or any milk alternative for variations.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy tapioca pearls at their best chewy texture.
  • For a colder drink, chill the honeydew melon before blending.
  • If tapioca pearls harden, soak in warm water briefly before use.
