Boba tea is my weak spot. I can’t resist a nice, colored, and appetizing cup of fruity, with matcha latte filled with the small and cute boba pearls that give you a taste of heaven at each bite. Strawberry matcha latte is the best refreshing drink suitable for a hot summer day with the best chewy boba milk tea pearls.
Pro tips:
- Tapioca pearls need to be air-cooled as they harden if left in the fridge.
- It’s preferable to puree the strawberries with your hands, not a mixer to have yourself these uneven chunks of fruit pieces.
- You can enhance the sweetness of the drink by adding more strawberry compote to the mix.
- When pouring each layer, be gentle to avoid the mixing of the different layers.
