After stumbling across a bag of rainbow tapioca pearls, I wanted to pay homage to one of my favorite drinks, the infamous bubble-tea or Boba. Generally consisting of a nice creamy milk tea paired with a delicate & chewy collection of tapioca balls, this drink brings back many memories of sneaking off-campus in high school, and holding all out boba wars in the student union apres school. (hint, a sticky bubble tea ball makes a nice alternative to a spit-ball)
BubbleTea CupCakes
yield 2 dozen mini cupcakes || 20 minutes prep; 25 minutes cook
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk-tea
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 bag of black tea leaves
pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. in a bowl mix together all of the ingredients, except the black tea leaves. to make the milk-tea, combine equal parts whole milk with strongly brewed black tea. line your mini cupcake tray and fill each cupcake 2/3 of the way full. sprinkle a pinch of black tea leaves on top of each cupcake. bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. this recipe will yield 2 dozen minis.
- 1/2 cup (one stick) of butter
- 1 box of powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp whole milk
- 1/2 cup tapioca pearls
first off there are two options for buying tapioca pearls, the first are the traditional brown ones that you find in most bubbletea drinks. those involve carefully heating to a certain temperature, and delicately monitoring the bubbles to ensure that they reach the desired texture & consistency in what sounds like a lot of work. the other option are the rainbow pearls, which take all of 5 minutes to prepare. boil water. dump a handful into the boiling water. they're done when they've floated to the top! voila! plus they look a lot prettier on top of the cupcakes!
