Instructions

Prepare the tapioca pearls (boba) according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse the tapioca pearls with cold water to remove any excess starch. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the maple syrup. Set aside.
½ cup cooked tapioca pearls, 2 tablespoons maple syrup
In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha green tea powder with the hot water until well blended and frothy. Add ¼ cup of coconut milk to the matcha and mix well.
2 teaspoons matcha powder, ½ cup hot water, 2 cups coconut milk
Add 1⁄4 cup of the tapioca pearls to each glass, then fill with a handful of ice cubes. Pour the rest of the coconut milk over the ice, followed by the matcha-milk mixture. Insert a wide bubble tea straw into the glass and give it a gentle stir to mix the tapioca pearls with the matcha mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing matcha bubble tea!

Notes

I used light coconut milk, you can also use coconut milk in a carton for a lighter option. For a creamier milk tea, use canned coconut milk. Or use any milk you prefer.
