BOBA (COCONUT MILK BLACK TEA WITH TAPIOCA PEARLS)



Boba (Coconut Milk Black Tea with Tapioca Pearls) image

Boba tea, or bubble tea, is a popular drink that originated from Taiwan. I made this coconut variation because I had coconut cream on hand and wanted something different from the regular black milk tea variation. This coconut version tastes just like the one you'll find in a bubble tea cafe.

Time 2h10m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 cups cold water
½ (8.8 ounce) package tapioca starch balls
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
4 cups brewed black tea (such as Lipton®), chilled
1 (14 ounce) can coconut cream
12 ice cubes
1 cup milk
⅔ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot. Pour in tapioca and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and let balls sit in water for 25 minutes.
  • Return stockpot to the heat; simmer and stir for 25 minutes more. Remove from heat and let rest again until centers of the balls are no longer powder, another 25 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine brown sugar and white sugar in a large bowl. Pour tapioca balls into the sugar mixture. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes while preparing the tea.
  • Process tea, coconut cream, ice, milk, and sugar together in a blender until combined.

BLACK TEA ICE CREAM



Black Tea Ice Cream image

Every morning I have a big mug of black tea with a little sugar and milk in it. A huge fan of green tea ice cream, I set out to turn my morning beverage of choice into a frosty treat. This recipe is based on David Lebovitz's amazingly delicious vanilla ice cream recipe.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup milk
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup sugar
3 black tea bags (my favorite is PG Tips)
5 egg yolks
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine milk, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan on med-high heat. Stir frequently until the sugar has dissolved and the milk is about to reach boiling point, but do not let the milk boil.
  • Take the pan off the heat, and continue to stir for several seconds. Add three tea bags to the milk, and let them steep for as long as their directions indicate (I steeped mine for 3 minutes). Remove, squeezing excess liquid out of the bag before discarding it.
  • Stir together egg yolks in a bowl, very gradually adding in the hot milk mixture so as not to cook the eggs. When both have been combined, pour the mixture back into the pan.
  • Before returning to the stove, pour the heavy cream into a large bowl and have a fine mesh strainer handy for when your egg/milk mixture is done.
  • Put the egg/milk mixture on the stove over medium heat, and stir frequently to prevent solids from forming on the bottom of the pan. When the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, and BEFORE it boils, pour into the cream through the strainer.
  • Stir to combine, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Freeze according to your ice cream maker's directions.

SWEET ICED BLACK TEA WITH CREAM



Sweet Iced Black Tea With Cream image

When brewing black teas to serve cold, steep them longer than usual, as their intensity will be mellowed by ice and the addition of other flavors.

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups boiling water
8 teaspoons loose English breakfast tea (or 8 tea bags)
1/2 cup sugar
Crushed ice, for serving
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Pour water over tea, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain. Bring tea and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Let cool. To serve, pour 1/2 cup tea over crushed ice in 8 glasses, and then top each with 1 tablespoon cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality black tea leaves: Opt for loose-leaf black tea or tea bags made with whole leaves. This ensures a rich, flavorful tea taste in your ice cream.
  • Steep the tea leaves properly: Follow the recommended steeping time and temperature for your chosen black tea to extract the best flavor.
  • Use full-fat milk and heavy cream: These ingredients add a creamy, decadent texture to the ice cream. If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute low-fat milk and half-and-half.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly before churning: This helps the ice cream set properly and prevents it from becoming icy.
  • Churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency: Over-churning can make the ice cream too hard and icy.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving: This allows the ice cream to fully set and develop its flavor.

Conclusion:

Black tea ice cream is a unique and flavorful dessert that combines the refreshing taste of black tea with the creamy indulgence of ice cream. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can easily make this delicious treat at home. Experiment with different types of black tea to create different flavor variations and enjoy a refreshing scoop of black tea ice cream on a hot summer day or as a delightful after-dinner treat.
