A quick and refreshing creamy frozen boba milk tea slushie that combines chewy tapioca pearls with a frosty milk tea base, perfect for hot days and bubble tea lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (475 ml) strong brewed black tea, chilled
  • ½ cup (100 g) tapioca pearls, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (240 g) ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Sugar or simple syrup to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the tapioca pearls: Bring 4 cups (950 ml) of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add ½ cup (100 g) of tapioca pearls carefully, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Boil for 5-7 minutes or until pearls float and become chewy but not mushy. Reduce to medium heat and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cover, and let pearls sit for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  2. Brew the tea: While pearls cook, brew 2 cups (475 ml) of strong black tea (about 2 tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose leaf) using hot water. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator until cold.
  3. Prepare the slushie base: In your blender, combine the chilled black tea, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and ice cubes. Optionally, add vanilla extract and sweetener if desired. Blend on high until frothy and slushy, about 30-40 seconds. Pause and stir if needed to break up ice chunks.
  4. Assemble your drink: Spoon about ¼ cup (60 g) of the cooked tapioca pearls into the bottom of each glass. Pour the creamy milk tea slushie over the pearls, filling the glass.
  5. Serve immediately with a wide straw or spoon and enjoy.

Notes

Do not overcook tapioca pearls to avoid mushy texture. Rinse pearls after cooking to remove excess starch and prevent clumping. Use strong brewed tea chilled fully for best flavor. Adjust sweetness with sugar or syrup as preferred. For dairy-free, substitute whole milk and sweetened condensed milk with coconut milk and coconut condensed milk alternatives. Store cooked tapioca pearls in syrup or honey water to keep soft if preparing ahead.
