Taro Milk Bubble Tea Recipe with Real Taro or Powder

Learn how to make taro milk tea using real taro, which is nuttier and richer than instant powder mixes.

🍴Ingredients:
120 g taro (see notes below if you can't buy this in your country)
2 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup jasmine or other types of green or black tea
¼ cup milk
2-3 tablespoon of tapioca pearls
ice optional

📝 This root vegetable is also sometimes called dasheen. If you can't find it in the fresh vegetable section in your Asian grocery store, we recommend looking for it in the frozen aisle. In the UK, we usually buy frozen root vegetables, as fresh root vegetables are much more expensive online.

📝 We don't like our purple boba too sweet, so we're only adding 1-2 tbsp of sugar to the fresh paste in our recipe. However, if you prefer yours to be sweeter and creamier, you can also add 1 tbsp of sweetened condensed milk. Or, you can replace the sugar entirely with sweetened condensed milk in a 1:1 ratio.

Have also had amazing Ube takes on it as a different option the taro with a lil ube foam even maybe a splash of ube cream liqueur with blueberry lavander booze soaked boba pearls for a cocktail take with a shot of rum has been a winner too here.

Yes we dicovered it a tea shop in like 2018 and its been a regular thing in our diets since. Really enjoy the real plus powder the most, as thats how we get it at a few different spot such as ding tea or 85cafe and either do the smoothie taro milk tea or regular taro milk tea but you gotta always have it with honey/brown boba and egg pudding and if really in a sweet tooth of a mood we either add on top the sweet whipped cream cheese on top it or a few place do a creme brulee to top it off. The just real deal ive had done good but also horrid like happy lemon we stopped at in Gilroy CA was just terrible in comparison to say ding teas real taro version. So usually advocate to have both if possible as the best option, but just the powder is really good too. We also buy it in bulk online and have regular tapioca boba pearls and purple taro flavor pearls as well but theres a few really good taro powder blends that are good and you cant beat the price if really into it as you can get 100 plus drinks in some of those bags incomparison to buying a walmart taro boba kit for $10 and only get three drinks or buying at the tea shops at $6 to $8 a pop especially with all the fixings like we like. Trying to find a good dehydrated egg pudding powder as ive tried to put homemade egg pudding and its not the same as that jelly like one they serve at tea shops which is from a powder. I know they sell it just gotta find a distributor. If you havent tried, i highly suggest you do if reading this.

I wonder what the origin is of the cartoonishly purple coloring we ascribe to taro milk tea. Was it done to make the drink stand out more than other milk teas and subsequently sell more? I gotta look this up.

Just like thai tea, it's just teh tarik with food coloring.
