What You’ll Need

• tapioca pearls — I use these specific ones for extra sweetness for this hojicha boba. You can use any topioca pearls you like.
• muscovado sugar — or dark brown sugar. Muscovado sugar is a little less refined than regular brown sugar so it has more pronounced caramel and toffee notes to it.
• matcha powder — a finely grounded powdered green tea
• milk — or non dairy alternative.
• water

Brown Sugar Boba Pearl Syrup

• Prepare your tapioca pearls according to the package.
• In a pot, combine the muscovado sugar with 40 ml of water and bring it to a boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer and add in the prepared tapioca pearls. Simmer until the brown sugar syrup has thickened. Simmering the cooked tapioca pearls in the syrup just adds more flavour to them.
• Remove from heat once it has thickened.

• In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and hot water. Set aside.
• In a cup, add in half of the brown sugar syrup with the pearls.
• Top with half of the whisked matcha and half of the milk.
• Stir to combine and enjoy!

Tips and Notes

• I use a regular whisk for combining my matcha (I have a mini one!). If you don’t have a mini whisk, simply add the hot water and matcha powder to an airtight container like a mason jar and shake it like a cocktail until it’s combined.
• Please feel free to adjust the amount of tapioca pearls and brown sugar syrup to your liking. I prefer my boba tea to be on the sweeter side and I love chewing on QQ pearls so I’m all for it! I usually add extra to mine and H adds less to his. My glass of matcha bubble tea is usually much bigger than the glass pictured here haha.
• Feel free to double or even triple this recipe.
• Be sure to get some boba straws as your pearls won’t fit through regular straws!
