Bubble tea is one of my favourite drinks to enjoy. Unfortunately, bubble tea is not readily available in the area where I live. Recently, after stumbling upon a pack of tapioca starch (flour) while grocery shopping, I decided to make my own tapioca pearls at home. Thankfully, It turned out really good and super delicious.

Today’s Strawberry Boba Milk recipe is a different take on the classic bubble (boba) tea. I skipped the black tea, blended some frozen strawberries with my milk, topped my serving glass with ice and some tapioca pearls, added my strawberry milk and voila, a delicious, refreshing beverage.

What is Boba?

Strawberry boba milk ingredients

Cooked boba pearls: Watch this how-to video to make your own at home.
Fresh or frozen strawberries: For this recipe, I used frozen strawberries like this. Frozen strawberries are strawberries that are handpicked and frozen at the peak of their ripeness and when they are in season. This preserves their freshness and sweetness. Ripe and fresh strawberries will also work well in this recipe.
Coconut milk: or any milk of your choice.
Sweetener: Sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, date syrup and cane sugar are great options in this drink. To make this drink vegan, use maple syrup, date syrup or cane sugar. To make this drink keto, use xylitol or any keto sweetener you prefer.
Maca powder: I love to add maca powder to my beverages because of it’s hormonal balancing properties. I also love the caramel flavour it gives to drinks. However, if you can’t find maca powder, you can skip it.
