Creamy Matcha Boba – Rich and Indulgent

Matcha Boba is the perfect blend of fresh, vibrant matcha and the fun, chewy indulgence of tapioca pearls. With its creamy texture and balanced flavour, it’s ideal for a refreshing break—or a relaxing moment just for you.

Ingredients (for 1 glass):

• 1 tsp matcha powder Organic Ceremonial Matcha
• 150 ml milk (plant-based or dairy)
• 50 ml hot water (70–75°C)
• 2 tbsp cooked tapioca pearls
• 1 to 2 tbsp cane sugar syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
• Ice cubes (optional, for an iced version)

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the matcha

1. Whisk the matcha: In a small bowl, add 1 tsp matcha and 50 ml hot water. Whisk vigorously with a chasen (bamboo whisk) or a small whisk until smooth and lightly frothy.

Step 2: Cook the tapioca pearls

1. Cook the pearls: If they aren’t already cooked, follow the package instructions. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble your Matcha Boba

1. Add the pearls: Place 2 tbsp tapioca pearls at the bottom of a large glass.
2. Add the syrup: Pour 1 to 2 tbsp cane sugar syrup (or your preferred sweetener) over the pearls.
3. Add the milk: Pour in 150 ml milk, cold or warm depending on your preference.
4. Add the matcha: Gently pour the whisked matcha over the top for a layered effect.
5. Add ice (optional): For an iced version, add a few ice cubes.

Step 4: Enjoy

1. Sip & savour: Add a wide boba straw and enjoy. Adjust syrup to taste to make it perfectly yours.

Tip:

For extra indulgence, top with a little whipped cream, or dust the surface with a pinch of matcha for a beautiful finish.

Nutrition highlight:

Matcha is naturally rich in antioxidants, while tapioca pearls add fun texture without adding fat. A great way to enjoy a treat and still feel energised.

When to enjoy it?

Perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a cosy moment with friends. Enjoy it hot or iced—whatever your mood.

Diet-friendly:

Easily adapted for a vegan lifestyle by using plant-based milk (almond, coconut, oat, etc.).
