Ingredients and equipment needed

To make a delicious matcha bubble tea, you will need a few specific ingredients and pieces of equipment. Here's what you need:

40 g of large tapioca pearls
2 teaspoons of matcha powder
1 teaspoon of sweetener of your choice (honey, agave syrup...)
25 cl of soy milk or any other plant-based milk such as oat or coconut
Ice cubes
For the syrup: 2 tablespoons of water and 1 heaped tablespoon of brown sugar

Required equipment

It is also essential to have a whisk for matcha tea called a chasen, a milk frother, and an XXL straw to enjoy the tapioca pearls.

Preparing the syrup and tapioca pearls

Start by preparing the syrup. Mix the sugar and water in a small saucepan and heat over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once the syrup has formed, remove it from the heat and let it cool.

In the meantime, cook the tapioca pearls according to the instructions on the package (usually between 15 and 30 minutes). They should become tender and slightly chewy. Drain them, rinse them, then soak them in the syrup prepared earlier to infuse them with sweet flavor.

Preparing the matcha tea

In a bowl, pour the matcha powder. Add a little hot water and whisk vigorously with the chasen or a milk frother until you get a homogeneous consistency and a light foam.

Then, add the soy milk (or another plant-based milk) along with the sweetener. Mix well to incorporate all the elements. If you prefer a milder version, use rice-coconut milk.

Assembling the matcha bubble tea

Once all the ingredients are ready, all that's left is to assemble your drink. Pour your matcha mixture into a large glass. Add the tapioca pearls along with a few ice cubes for optimal freshness.

Enjoy immediately, using an XXL straw to slurp up the tapioca pearls — this is what makes bubble tea so fun and unique!

Matcha can be combined with other Japanese green teas such as sencha to vary the flavors. You can also add a hint of vanilla or mint for a refreshing twist.

Milk options

If soy milk isn't your favorite, try coconut milk for an exotic note, or oat milk for extra creaminess. Almond milk can also offer a subtle nutty flavor that pairs wonderfully with matcha.

Twist it up with fruity flavors

Add pieces of fresh fruit or a fruit coulis for an even more indulgent version of your matcha bubble tea. Strawberry, mango, or even raspberry can bring an original, vibrant touch.

Although the basic recipe is simple, here are a few tips to perfect your matcha bubble tea:

Use the right tools: the bamboo whisk (chasen) and the frother help achieve a perfect texture for the matcha.

Soak the pearls: immerse them in the syrup immediately after cooking so they fully absorb the sweet flavors.
