MANGO BOBA TEA

Boba tea, also known as Bubble Tea or Pearl Milk Tea, is a Taiwanese tea-based drink that combines tea, milk, sweeteners, and chewy tapioca pearls (“boba”). Over the years, it has become a global beverage sensation, loved for its unique texture and fun drinking experience.

Boba tea originated in Taiwan during the 1980s. Multiple tea houses claim its invention, but it’s widely credited to Chun Shui Tang Teahouse in Taichung, Taiwan, where cold tea was first mixed with tapioca pearls.

The drink was initially created by blending milk tea with tapioca pearls, inspired by the popularity of tapioca-based desserts in Taiwan. Its interactive and textural appeal quickly made it a youth favorite.

Boba tea is typically prepared with various types of tea, milk, sweeteners, and tapioca pearls (soft, chewy balls made from tapioca starch). Sometimes, add-ons like jelly, beans, or chia seeds are included. It can be served either iced or hot and is enjoyed with a wide straw to accommodate the pearls.

From street stalls in Taiwan to cafes worldwide, boba tea has evolved into a cultural and social beverage trend, especially among youth. Today, it is commonly found in diverse fusion styles catering to local tastes across the globe.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves: 1

Ingredients:

For Mango Boba Pearls:

1/2 cup mango puree

1 cup tapioca starch

1 tsp powdered sugar (optional)

1 cup sugar syrup

For Mango Milk:

1/4 cup mango puree

150 ml milk

1 tsp sugar

Method:

In a large bowl, mix half the tapioca starch with mango puree and powdered sugar. Stir well, then microwave the mixture for 30 seconds.

Gradually add more tapioca starch as needed to form a smooth, non-sticky dough.

Roll the dough into thin cylindrical shapes, cut into small pieces, and roll them into smooth balls.

Boil 4 cups of water in a broad vessel. Add the mango boba pearls and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they begin to float.

Remove from heat, drain, and refresh the pearls in cold water immediately.

Place the mango boba pearls in sugar syrup to prevent them from sticking together.

To make the mango milk, blend the mango puree, sugar, and milk together.

Add 1/2 cup of boba pearls to a glass, top with ice, and pour in the mango milk.

Serve chilled.
