Chocolate Bubble Tea
Easy Chocolate Bubble Tea. Made with only 4 ingredients, this delicious drink recipe is the perfect quick way to satisfy your chocolate cravings.
Cheers to the weekend! Who's with me?
I am not really an alcohol drinker. Never have been, but during this pandemic it seems like my alcohol consumption (and probably everyone else's) has gone up significantly.
Taking a break this week with some homemade milk tea since all the milk tea shops around me are closed. And with this Chocolate Bubble Tea I'm not missing the alcohol at all.
One of the silver linings to this pandemic is that I started making bubble tea at home. And ever since I made my Instant Pot Tapioca Pearls, I have been making bubble tea almost every week.
Seriously, if you haven't made bubble tea at home yet, take this post as your sign. Since I can no longer go to my local bubble tea shop, this is a great way to satisfy my chocolate milk tea boba cravings.
You can make this homemade chocolate milk tea recipe either warm or hot, depending on your mood. But you can bet that I'm going to be making this on repeat for the next couple of days. I am in desperate need of comfort drinks after the week we've had!!
Chocolate Bubble Tea Ingredients
This chocolate boba tea recipe is made with just 4 simple ingredients. All you need is:
- hot chocolate mix
- plenty of ice cubes
- whole milk
- chewy tapioca pearls
Equipment
- blender
- large glass
- boba straw (these straws are a lot wider than regular straws)
Tips
How to make the chewy boba pearls. I using these Tapioca Pearls. One way to cook tapioca pearls is to bring a small pot of water to boil then cook the pearls until they float. Then remove the pearls from the hot water and place them in some simple syrup to give them some sweetness. Or you could use my recipe for Instant Pot Tapioca Pearls. You could also make fresh boba, but that will take quite a while.
Make it vegan. All you need to do is use plant-based milk in this recipe. I love using creamy oat milk, coconut milk, almond milk or soy milk.
Don't have hot cocoa mix? Replace it with unsweetened cocoa powder and some sweetener such as coconut sugar, chocolate syrup or maple syrup.
