If you love to travel to Thailand, you may fall in love with Thai tea boba, as I do. It has a lovely green color similar to Matcha green tea but tastes much stronger because of the spices used in the mixture.
Boba originated from the Taiwan area and has been one of the most popular daily breavage. There are lots of local versions. Boba is usually served in Thailand with regular and green Thai tea. You can check out Hong Kong coffee boba, a popular beverage in Hong Kong.
It is very simple to make green Thai tea boba tea at home if you get the mixture. It has a natural green color.
Ingredients
4 tbsp. cooked boba pearls
In this recipe, I use regular cooked boba pearls, not the version with brown sugar syrup. But you can use brown sugar boba pearls to make a lovely, messy, dirty-looking tiger boba.
