Learn to Make Addictive Black Sugar Taro Boba Tea – Make Boba Tea at Home!
Making boba tea at home is so satisfying, it's packed with ingredients. I made black sugar pearl taro boba tea, with layers of taro, black sugar pearls, milk foam, and yellow bean paste glutinous balls – every bite is bursting with happiness!
Tips:
1When making pearls, you must use boiling water, otherwise the starch will become difficult to form and operate. If the dough is too thin, add a little starch, if it's too dry, add a little water. When cooking pearls, once the pearls float, cook for about 10 minutes, always turn off the fire, this will make the pearls more chewy.
2When making the taro filling, if you don't use purple sweet potato, you can use purple sweet potato powder. I mainly use it for a beautiful color. When making the taro filling, milk, cream, and white sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste. Taste it as you add it. I especially like to eat taro so I added a lot of taro in this boba tea. You can adjust according to your personal preference.
3This cheesy salty milk cap is particularly delicious, whether you make fruit cheese tea or simple boba tea, it's very delicious.
