This Matcha Boba Tea is essentially an iced green tea (matcha) latte with boba pearls. Sometimes called matcha bubble tea. And if you’ve never had boba before, they’re chewable tapioca pearls that are added to milk tea. One advantage of knowing how to make your own matcha boba is that you can easily adjust the sweetness, or leave the drink unsweetened. Make it however you like!
Matcha is green tea that is grown in the shade before being harvested, which gives matcha its vibrant green color. So, I think of it as a specific type of green tea. It does contain caffeine, so if you’re looking for a little pick-me-up, this is a fun option. And while this matcha boba recipe is made with milk, you can use any type you like: dairy, oat, soy, etc.
