Method

Prepare Taro Milk Tea Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tea

    In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves and let it steep for about 5-7 minutes, then strain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix Taro Powder

    In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of taro powder and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Gradually add the steeped tea to the mixture while stirring to create a smooth paste.

  3. 3

    Combine with Milk

    Once the taro mixture is smooth, add 1 cup of milk (whole or plant-based) and stir well until fully combined.

Add Toppings

    If using tapioca pearls, cook them according to the package instructions, usually boiling for 30 minutes, then let them rest for an additional 30 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

    Serve

    In a glass, add cooked tapioca pearls at the bottom, fill with ice cubes to taste, and pour the taro milk tea over the top. Stir well before drinking.
