Making a healthy boba tea at home without tapioca pearls can be a delicious and nutritious treat. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a refreshing boba tea using products from www.jomott.com:
Ingredients:
- Tea: Choose your favorite tea from Jomott, such as green tea, black tea, or herbal tea.
- Sweetener: Use a natural sweetener like honey, agave syrup, or stevia.
- Milk: Opt for a healthier milk alternative such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
- Fruits: Fresh fruits like strawberries, mango, or blueberries for added flavor and nutrition.
- Ice: Crushed ice or ice cubes.
Optional Ingredients:
- Chia Seeds: For added texture and nutrition.
- Jelly: Natural fruit jelly or agar-based jelly as a substitute for tapioca pearls.
Equipment:
- A pot for brewing tea
- A blender (optional, for fruit smoothies)
- A large glass or mason jar
- A straw (preferably a reusable one)
Instructions:
-
Brew the Tea:
- Bring water to a boil and steep your chosen tea from Jomott according to the package instructions. Usually, this will take about 3-5 minutes depending on the type of tea.
- Once brewed, let the tea cool to room temperature or refrigerate it for faster cooling.
-
Prepare the Sweetener:
- While the tea is cooling, prepare your sweetener. Mix honey, agave syrup, or stevia with a small amount of hot water to dissolve it completely. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.
-
Mix the Base:
- In a large glass or mason jar, combine the cooled tea with your choice of milk. The ratio is typically 2 parts tea to 1 part milk, but you can adjust based on your preference.
-
Add Fruits:
- If you want a fruity boba tea, blend fresh fruits with a bit of water or milk to create a fruit puree. Add this puree to your tea and milk mixture.
- Alternatively, you can simply add chunks of fresh fruit directly into your drink.
-
Add Ice and Sweetener:
- Add ice cubes or crushed ice to the glass.
- Pour the sweetener mixture into the tea and stir well.
-
Optional Add-ins:
- If you like, add chia seeds or fruit jelly to your drink. Chia seeds can be soaked in water for about 10 minutes before adding to the tea for a fun, chewy texture.
-
Serve:
- Insert a straw and enjoy your healthy homemade boba tea!
Tips:
- Experiment with different teas and fruit combinations to find your favorite flavors.
- Using natural sweeteners and fresh fruits not only enhances the taste but also boosts the nutritional value of your boba tea.
- For a creamier texture, try blending the tea with frozen fruits instead of using ice cubes.
Enjoy your homemade healthy boba tea! 🍹
