Ingredients

Scale

Boba Pearls

  • ½ cup quick-cooking tapioca pearls
  • 2 cups water (for cooking tapioca pearls)

Coffee Drink

  • 1 cup brewed coffee (hot or cold)
  • ½ cup milk of your choice (whole, oat, almond, coconut, etc.)
  • ¼ cup simple syrup (or to taste)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)
  • Wide straw (optional)

Toppings (optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Caramel drizzle
  • Flavored syrups

Instructions

  1. Cook the Boba: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tapioca pearls and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Steep the Boba: After boiling, remove the pan from heat and cover it. Let the tapioca pearls steep for an additional 5 minutes to achieve the perfect chewy texture.
  3. Strain and Rinse: Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them under cool water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking together.
  4. Prepare the Drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, add the cooked tapioca pearls, then pour in the brewed coffee and your choice of milk.
  5. Sweeten to Taste: Add simple syrup or your preferred sweetener gradually, stirring to combine until you reach your desired sweetness.
  6. Add Toppings (Optional): Top your boba coffee with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or flavored syrups for extra flavor and visual appeal. Optionally, add caramel sauce to the bottom of the glass before assembling the drink for a richer taste.

Notes

  • Use tapioca pearls immediately after cooking, as they harden if left at room temperature for too long.
  • If you want a dairy-free alternative, substitute milk with plant-based options like oat, almond, or coconut milk.
  • Adjust sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less simple syrup.
  • You can find instant tapioca pearls or pre-cooked boba at Asian grocery stores or specialty tea shops to save time.
  • For an interesting twist, try using Dalgona coffee whip as a topping to create a boba latte variation.
