Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 10 cups water
  • 1 package (8.8 oz.) dried boba tapioca pearls (quick cooking)
  • 1 cup dried butterfly pea flower buds
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 can (13.5 oz.) coconut milk
  • 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • Crushed ice for serving

Method
 

  1. Make the simple syrup by combining water and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl, heating until dissolved, then stir in coconut extract and cool.
  2. Boil water in a large pot, add boba, cook until pearls float, cover, then let stand before rinsing and cooling in simple syrup.
  3. Steep butterfly pea flower buds in boiling water for 10-15 minutes, strain and cool the tea.
  4. Mix coconut milk with sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
  5. Assemble by adding boba, coconut cream, crushed ice, and butterfly pea flower tea in a glass.

Notes

Boba pearls are best enjoyed on the same day they are made. Store any leftovers in their syrup in the refrigerator.
