Ingredients
- 1 teabag green/black/fruit tea
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca pearls
- 1 5 tbsp sugar (white sugar, granulated sugar, etc)
- 1/2 ripe honeydew
- 1 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened oat milk)
- 1 tsp matcha (optional)
- 1 handful ice cubes
Instructions
- 1
Add tea bag to 1 cup (235ml) of boiled water. Let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the bag and let the tea cool down completely (preferably in the fridge).
- 2
Add tapioca pearls to a pan full of boiling hot water.
- 3
Let simmer for about 5-6 minutes. If you want the pearls to be softer, cook for longer. If you want them chewier, cook for less long.
- 4
Remove from heat and strain through a sieve. If you don't have a sieve, simply scoop out the balls with a spoon/spatula.
- 5
Immediately cover with sugar. Give it a good stir. Set aside.
- 6
Peel honeydew and remove the seeds. Cut into small pieces and add to a blender (or food processor). Add milk and blend until completely smooth.

Optional: add ice cubes & matcha and blend again. This will make it super refreshing & add a green tone.

To serve, add tapioca balls to a large glass. Serve with crushed ice if desired. Then add (cooled down) tea and honeydew/milk mixture.
