Ingredients

Banana Milk

  • 1 overripe banana
  • 1⅓ cup milk of choice (1%, skim, almond, oat)
  • tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp dark brown sugar

Maple Boba

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ cup uncooked boba pearls

Assembly

  • ice cubes

Instructions

Make Maple Boba

  • Cook boba pearls according to package instructions. Rinse with cold water.
  • Mix together maple syrup and cooked boba. Set aside.

Make Banana Milk

  • Blend all banana milk ingredients together.

Assembly

  • Fill two glasses with boba. Add ice. Pour in banana milk and give it a quick stir. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The consistency of the final drink should be thin and creamy. Therefore, we recommend using milks with less fat (1%, skim, almond, oat, etc.). If you use thicker milk (soy, 2%, whole, etc.), you can add up to 1/4 cup water to get the desired consistency.
  • Boba pearls can be found in most Asian Markets, near the tea and instant coffees. We recommend purchasing normal boba pearls over fast-cook bobas (ie. "ready in 5 minutes" or ones that claim "no cooking is required") because they don't turn out very soft and chewy.
  • In general, you can expect most store-bought pearls to take about 40 minutes to prep (about 20 minutes for boiling, then 20 minutes of resting before use).
