Boba Bubble Matcha Latte

Instructions:

First, make your Boba balls!

Step 1: 

Boil water in a small saucepan

Step 2:

Add the tapioca starch to a medium-sized bowl, followed by the activated charcoal

Step 3:

Add the boiling water, little by little. Use your hands instead of a spoon or spatula, that way you can incorporate the water well and make a non-sticky dough. Be careful not to burn your fingers! Keep kneading until you have incorporated all the flour.

Step 4:

Once you have a workable dough, roll the dough unto long and thin cylinders, cut them into small pieces, and roll them into tiny balls

Step 5:

To cook the boba balls, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then add the tapioca balls. They should float right up to the top! You can now check the texture of the boba balls - they will be ready in about 10 minutes.

Make Your Matcha Shot

While the Boba balls are cooking, make your matcha shots! Whisk hot water and matcha until frothy and set aside.

Step 6:

When your Boba balls are ready, transfer them into a small bowl and pour the maple syrup on top. The syrup will ensure that they don’t stick together!

Step 7:

The boba balls are best when served slightly warm, so go ahead and make your boba bubble latte!

• First, put the boba balls in your glasses.

• Next, fill the glasses with ice, and then almond milk

• Finally, pour your matcha shots on top!
