Ingredients

Honeydew syrup

  • ½ honeydew juice blended from fresh honeydew
  • ½ cup sugar

Honeydew Milk Tea

  • ¼ cup instant tapioca pearls
  • 2 tbsp honeydew syrup recipe above
  • 1 green teabag or other tea
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 drop green food coloring optional
  • water for brewing tea and cooking pearls

Instructions

Honeydew syrup

  • Peel and roughly chop up approximately 1/4 honeydew and place into a blender or bullet blender.
  • Place a sieve on top of a measuring jug and pour the blended honeydew juice. Measure out 1/2 a cup of juice.
  • Place the honeydew juice with the sugar in a small saucepan over a low - medium heat.
  • Let the juice and sugar come to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool. You'll only need 2 tbsp for the bubble tea.
  • Store the remaining syrup in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

Honeydew Milk Tea

  • Brew 1 cup of green tea.
  • Boil 1/4 cup of tapioca pearls in 2 ½ cups of water for 5-6 minutes until the boba have cooked, strain immediately and run cold water over the pearls so they don't continue to cook. (Always check the instructions on the packet and follow those for best results).
  • Place the pearls into the bottom of a tall glass (approx. 300-400ml).
  • Immediately place on 2 tbsp of syrup so the boba can soak in the flavor.
  • Pour over the green tea, milk. Add ice if you like.
  • Serve straight away with a wide enough straw. Enjoy.

Notes

Use quick cook / instant tapioca pearls. Follow the packet instructions for cooking the tapioca for best results and don't overcook the pearls.
Use good quality green tea bags.
Make and serve immediately for the best flavor. 
Top with ice for an even more refreshing drink.
