Step 1: Prepare the Boba Pearls

Start by boiling water in a pot to cook the boba pearls. Once the water is bubbling merrily, gently add the dry boba pearls. Watch them dance in the boiling water! Cook according to package instructions, generally for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps prevent sticking and ensures they cook evenly.

Step 2: Drain and Rinse

Once the boba pearls are perfectly chewy, use a strainer to drain the water. Rinse the pearls under cold water to stop the cooking process. As you do this, notice the shiny, glossy texture of the boba. This is the moment when they become ready to soak up all the deliciousness!

Step 3: Sweeten the Pearls

To make the boba truly irresistible, try sweetening them! Transfer the pearls to a bowl and add a splash of sugar syrup, honey, or agave. Mix gently until each pearl is coated in sweetness. This step adds an extra layer of flavor to your Purple Bliss Boba Tea that you won’t want to overlook!

Step 4: Prepare the Purple Tea

In a separate pot, boil your choice of water again, and once ready, steep your favorite herbal tea. Butterfly pea flower tea is a fantastic option for that eye-catching purple color! Let it steep for about 5-10 minutes, fully immersing yourself in its aromatic charm. The brewing tea will start revealing its magical hues.

Step 5: Mix in the Milk

After steeping, strain the tea to remove any leaves and pour it into a large glass. Let it cool slightly before adding your choice of milk. This could be whole milk, almond milk, or even coconut milk! Give it a good stir—you’ll see the beautiful purple color meld with the milk, creating a stunning presentation for your Purple Bliss Boba Tea.

Step 6: Assemble the Drink

In a tall glass, add a generous layer of your sweetened boba pearls at the bottom. Pour the lovely purple tea mixture over the pearls, taking care to watch the colors blend beautifully. For an added touch, try sprinkling some edible flowers or a dash of extra sweetness on top.

Step 7: Enjoy Your Creation!

Lastly, grab a straw—make sure it’s wide enough for your boba pearls—and savor your delicious creation! Take a moment to appreciate the vibrant hues and enticing aroma. Your Purple Bliss Boba Tea is not just a drink; it’s a celebration of color and flavor!
