  • Place a pan with water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and add the instant black tapioca pearls. Stir and cook for two to three minutes or until the pearls float.

Assembly

  • Split the boba between two large glasses. Sift the matcha into a bowl. Pour the hot water and whisk the matcha until completely smooth.
  • Combine the matcha, almond milk, vanillas extract, and sweetened condensed milk in a blender. Blend until combined. Add the ice cubes and blend until crushed. Pour in the two glasses with the boba.
