What is boba or bubble?

Boba is a tapioca pearl which is used to make the drink. In the United States, recently, this is gaining its popularity. Nowadays, it is not only limited to Thai restaurants but also widely available in other food junctions.

It is small in a spherical shape and has a texture like jelly, which is a great addition and a pleasing WOW factor to the juices and smoothies.

Many do not know what boba or bubble tea is. But those who are regular visitors to Asian restaurants, probably don't need this introduction. You may skip reading the next paragraph.

The boba tapioca pearls have a subtle flavor and combine well with their co-ingredients. It does not dominate the original aspect of the avocado and the milk. Hence, this tea tastes pure by retaining the natural flavor of avocado. Boba is the surprise factor that gently glides into the throat, which is exciting for every sip.

Where to get it?

Tapioca pearls are hard to find in regular American grocery stores. But you may get it in Asian stores like H Mart, or other local Asian stores.

Many of you asked for substitutes for this Boba to make avocado bubble tea. The closest alternative I found is Indian Sabudhana, which is smaller, lightweight, and transparent when cooked.

Boba is delicate to use and has to be consumed within 3-4 hours after cooking. And this is what the packaging information says. So, get everything ready if you plan to make this for breakfast.

Here is a caution notice if you are serving this tea for young children, as there are possibilities of getting choked. I’m not scaring you but I am letting you know the fact.

The processes

The process of making Boba avocado tea is straightforward, even for beginners. I know the people are growing along with knowledge of making tea and smoothies. I know these are the first two dishes we all made in the kitchen as a beginner.

The key ingredients of Avocado bubble tea

Avocados. Fully ripened avocados are great for making this tea as the texture will be smooth and silky, which perfectly matches the taste of the Boba to make tasty avocado bubble tea. Haze avocados work better because of their soft texture and bright color.

To make avocado boba tea, Boba is available in different sizes and two colors. Black and white. When cooked, the large varieties would turn to the size of small marbles. The large black size is the one you get in takeouts and in restaurants.

Condensed milk. The condensed milk's flavor and color work great for the avocado boba tea. You may substitute this with green tea.

Or you may substitute with evaporated milk and add sugar to your choice.

Milk. Opt for whole or plant-based milk, like almond, soy, or cashew milk.

How to make avocado bubble tea

Cook Boba. Cooking Boba is like preparing pasta. Bring two cups of water to a rolling boil, then add a handful of tapioca balls. Cover it with a lid and cook it for 10 minutes or per the package directions. Once it is completely done, strain it. Soak it in a tablespoon of honey and set aside.

Make Puree. In that blender jar, scoop avocado flesh, condensed milk, and ice cubes. And then, pulse the blender until it becomes smooth and creamy in texture.

Serving. In the serving glass, Layer the tapioca bubbles and the puree alternatively.

Add 3 tablespoons of Boba, then fill half the glass with the avocado smoothie. Then add 3 tablespoons of boba and fill the glass with the smoothie. End with a tablespoon of boba at the top.

I made the avocado tea denser if you prefer a thin tea to add more milk. Layering is unnecessary if the drink is lighter, as the tapioca pearls settle down in the bottom.

Avocado bubble tea, rich, creamy, delicious and healthy drink. This healthy breakfast menu is a wholesome and modern twist to the classic Tea.

The Leftovers and make-ahead preparations

The preparation time of avocado bubble tea is minimal and effortless compared to the taste and texture of the tea. If you want to reduce the preparation time, make the green tea in advance.

Avocado tends to change its color within a couple of hours after it is cut open. So I advise you to consume this rich bubble tea within an hour.

After reading the secrets and tips of this recipe, I know most of you may stop buying from these take-outs and start making your own cheaper and a lot tastier.

Possible variations for avocado bubble tea

The variations are limitless. You may add other fruits like mango banana, which has a smooth, creamy texture like avocado. These type of fleshy fruits significantly blends with the tea. And you may also make the color variations with strawberries or blueberries.

To make this special, add any one or combination of the following these. Crushed mint leaves, basil leaves, cilantro, or lemon juice.

Instead of adding condensed milk, you may add a quarter teaspoon of salt which is also a great alternative to the regular sweet tea. For someone, it may sound weird, but I prefer at times when the day is warm and bright.
