Ingredients
- 150 g taro peeled and cubed
- 2 teaspoons sugar for the pearls
- 3 tablespoons dry tapioca pearls
- 3 teaspoons sugar for the taro paste
- 120 ml black tea strongly brewed. I use 2 tea bags. (you can use a different tea)
- 200 ml soy milk or any other milk
- 2 teaspoons sugar to sweeten at the end
Procédé
- Boil the cubed taro for 45 minutes over medium heat. It should be tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- Discard the water. Mash the cooked taro into a uniform paste. For a smoother paste, use a food processor or blender. Stir in the sugar while the paste is still hot. Set aside.
- Add your tapioca pearls to a saucepan of boiling water. Add the 2 teaspoons of sugar and boil for 5 to 7 minutes. Once the tapioca pearls start to float, they are ready. Adjust the cooking time depending on how firm or soft you prefer them. Remove them from the hot water and set aside
- Brew the tea and set aside
- Finally, add the milk, sugar and tapioca pearls to the mixture. Serve hot or cold.
Notes
If you use a blender, it is more efficient to add the milk and tea directly to it along with the taro paste to blend
If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while peeling the taro to prevent the saponin from irritating your hands.
