Tips for Making Kiwi Bubble Tea

This boba drink is very easy to make! Ready to excite your taste buds with different flavor varieties? Tea, milk, sweetener, ice, and tapioca pearls are all you need.

Here are some tips on how to make kiwi bubble tea:

Store your kiwi fruits in the fridge to keep them fresh. That is, if you won’t be making the kiwi bubble tea recipe any time soon. Otherwise, you may store them on a fruit bowl at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
Cook the tapioca pearls beforehand. First, you would need to boil the pearls for at least 3 minutes in boiling water, or until they float to the surface. Then, keep boiling for about 2 to 3 minutes more after that.
Cook your tapioca pearls with brown sugar to make them sweeter. After boiling the pearls, drain them, and cook them with sugar. You can’t go wrong with brown sugar boba! Keep an eye on the pearls though, you don’t want them to be overcooked.
Steep the tea in a glass of cold water to extract the flavor easily. This cold brew technique is an alternative to steeping the drink in hot water. These methods pull out the full-bodied flavor from the black tea leaves. Also, use black tea produced by your favorite tea brands for the best result!
For a colder drink, combine the milk, tea, and ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Grab your shaker from your bar cart and use it to make bubble tea! Once everything is combined, shake well and pour the concoction into a glass with the boba and ice. This will give you an extra cold kiwi bubble tea.
Use milk substitutes to make a dairy-free kiwi fruit tea. Soy milk, oat milk, and coconut milk are good alternatives to real milk. You can even try to make a vegan-friendly alternative to condensed milk from scratch!

Kiwi bubble tea is best enjoyed immediately, so have a sip as soon as it is made. It will taste different if kept in the fridge for more than a day. That said, let’s begin making the drink!
