Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup instant tapioca pearls
  • 5 cups water
  • 2 cups brewed coffee this could be instant coffee, cold brew, espresso or cooled freshly brewed coffee
  • 200 ml milk dairy or plant based
  • Vanilla sugar syrup optional
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • Ice optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the boba pearls: add tapioca pearls to a large pot, add enough water and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the pearls become translucent and float on top of the water. Alternatively, cook the pearls according to the packet instructions.
  • Drain the cooked boba in a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking process (this also stop the pearls from sticking together) and transfer to a bowl. Add some honey to it and stir to combine then move on to make the drink
  • Assemble the drink: to a coffee glass, add about 2-3 tablespoons of sweetened tapioca pearls to the bottom of the glass or as needed. Add ice, coffee, add sugar syrup if desired, and top with milk. Stir to combine and serve. Enjoy!
