Ingredients
matcha powder – 2 teaspoons
cold filtered water – 2/3 cup
oat milk – 1 1/2 cups
ice – 2 cups
dark brown sugar – 1/4 cup
water (for syrup) – 1/4 cup
tapioca balls (boba) – 3/4 cup
water (for boiling boba) – 4 cups
Instructions
Prepare the Syrup: Boil 1/4 cup water and stir in dark brown sugar until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool.
Cook the Boba: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add tapioca balls. Once they float, cover and cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
Marinate Boba: Drain the pearls and immediately stir them into the dark brown sugar syrup. Let them cool slightly to a warm temperature.
Prepare Matcha: Combine cold water and matcha powder in a jar or shaker. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until no clumps remain.
Assemble: Spoon the boba and syrup into two tall glasses. Add ice, then pour in the oat milk.
Final Touch: Top with the shaken matcha mixture. Stir well before drinking to combine all layers.
Notes
• Use ceremonial grade matcha for the best bright green color and smooth flavor.
• Do not refrigerate the cooked boba as it will become hard and lose its chewy texture.
• You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less of the brown sugar syrup to your glass.
