    How to Make Matcha Bubble Tea

    1. Make brown sugar simple syrup

    Stir together dark brown sugar and hot water until sugar dissolves. Set aside.

    2. Make tapioca balls

    This part takes the longest but it’s pretty straightforward and not hard to make.

    Boil water and add tapioca balls. They’ll start to float to the surface in a couple of minutes — at this point, cover and cook. Stir every once in a while. Strain tapioca balls.

    If you’re using a different brand of tapioca balls from what I’m using, follow the directions on the packaging.

    Combine brown sugar simple syrup and tapioca balls. The brown sugar simple syrup will sweeten the bubble tea and the tapioca balls.

    Set aside to cool slightly. The tapioca balls are ready when they’re nice and warm but not hot.

    3. Make matcha

    Combine cold filtered water and matcha in a cocktail shaker. Shake, shake, shake.

    Tea Sommelier’s Tip: Shaking cold water and matcha is the easiest and best way to make iced matcha. No need for any matcha bowls, bamboo whisks, or hot water. It creates perfect, clump-free matcha each and every time.

    4. Assemble drink

    This recipe makes two servings, so just split all the components in half to make each drink.

    I’m using 17 oz cups. These are a tiny bit bigger than a Starbucks grande which is 16 oz.

    First, the boba (tapioca balls) in the dark brown simple syrup goes in. Add ice.

    Pour in the oat milk.

    If you don’t have or like oat milk, you can replace it with any kind of milk you like.

    And the final layer, the cold matcha. Pour the matcha slowly over the ice. This will create a lovely layer between the matcha and the milk.

    Pop in an extra wide straw and make sure to swirl to mix all the layers together before drinking.

    Notes & Tips

    • Find the brightest green matcha without going over $30.
    • To make iced matcha, you can use any airtight container. A cocktail shaker or a water bottle with a wide mouth works great.
    • If you don’t have dark brown sugar, you can make the sugar syrup using any kind of sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or cane sugar. I just prefer the taste of dark brown sugar for this drink.
    • Tapioca balls have the best soft, chewy texture when they’re warm. Don’t cool down the tapioca balls completely to keep the perfect texture.

    Storage Tips

    • All the components except for the tapioca balls can be made ahead of time (4 days max) and stored in the refrigerator.
    • Tapioca balls need to be made and eaten within 4 hours otherwise it’ll start to harden.
