Hojicha Milk Tea (Hojicha Bubble Tea)
Creamy and soothing Hojicha Milk Tea with a unique, roasted flavor. This Japanese bubble tea tastes earthy, rich and creamy, with delicious chewy tapioca pearls.
Ingredients
Boba Pearls
- ¾ cup quick cook tapioca pearls (100 grams)
- 3 cups water (700 grams)
- ¼ cup brown sugar syrup
Milk Tea Base
- 2 teaspoons hojicha powder
- 4 tablespoons hot water
- 2 teaspoons honey or syrup
- 2 cups whole milk
Instructions
- Prepare the tapioca pearls according to the instructions on the package. Once they are soft and chewy, add them to a saucepan with brown sugar syrup and cook over low heat until they are fully coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine hojicha tea powder with 4 tablespoons of hot water. Using a bamboo whisk, stir the mixture until it becomes frothy. If you prefer a sweeter tea, feel free to add a bit of honey at this stage.
- Take a serving glass and add the sweetened boba pearls. For a refreshing cold drink, add a handful of ice cubes on top of the pearls.
- Pour cold milk into the glass, filling it about ¾ of the way to the top.
- Slowly pour the hojicha tea over the milk. Adding the milk very slowly helps create distinct layers.
- Give it a quick stir and enjoy!
