Avocado Bubble Tea Recipe

Tapioca pearls: These chewy pearls are the hallmark of bubble tea, providing a fun texture contrast to the creamy drink.

Avocado: A ripe avocado adds a rich, buttery flavor and creamy texture to the drink.

Milk: Any kind of milk can be used, whether dairy or plant-based, to create a smooth and creamy base.

Sugar: Adds sweetness to balance the flavors of the avocado and milk.

Ice cubes: Helps to chill the drink and create a refreshing, cold beverage.

When blending the avocado mixture, ensure that the ice cubes are evenly distributed throughout the blender. This will help achieve a smoother and creamier texture. Additionally, if you prefer a sweeter bubble tea, consider using a ripe avocado as it will naturally add more sweetness to the drink.

• To store your avocado bubble tea, place any leftover tapioca pearls in an airtight container. Ensure they are submerged in a bit of water to prevent them from drying out. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• For the avocado mixture, transfer it to a sealed container and refrigerate. Consume within 24 hours to enjoy the freshest taste and texture.
• If you wish to freeze the avocado mixture, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag or container. This method allows you to blend the cubes with fresh milk and tapioca pearls whenever you crave a quick bubble tea fix.
• When ready to serve, thaw the frozen avocado mixture cubes in the refrigerator for a few hours or blend them directly with a bit of milk to achieve the desired consistency.
• Always store bubble tea components separately to maintain their individual textures and flavors. Mixing them together before storage can result in a less appealing drink.
• Avoid freezing the tapioca pearls as they tend to lose their chewy texture and become hard or mushy when thawed.

• Gently warm the tapioca pearls in a saucepan over low heat. Add a splash of milk to keep them from sticking together. Stir occasionally until they are heated through.

• For the avocado mixture, avoid direct heat to preserve its creamy texture. Instead, place the mixture in a heatproof bowl and set it over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir gently until it reaches your desired temperature.

• Alternatively, you can microwave the avocado mixture in short bursts of 10-15 seconds, stirring in between to ensure even heating. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can alter the flavor and texture.

• Once both components are warmed, combine the tapioca pearls and avocado mixture in a glass. Stir well and enjoy immediately.

• Blender: To combine the avocado, milk, sugar, and ice cubes until smooth.

• Saucepan: To cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions.

• Strainer: To drain the cooked tapioca pearls.

• Measuring spoons: To measure the sugar accurately.

• Ice cube tray: To have ice cubes ready for blending.

• Glasses: To serve the bubble tea.

• Spoon: To stir the avocado mixture and tapioca pearls together in the glass.

Pre-cook the tapioca pearls: Cook the tapioca pearls in advance and store them in the fridge. This way, you can quickly assemble your bubble tea when needed.

Use pre-made ice cubes: Keep a tray of ice cubes ready in the freezer to save time when blending your avocado mixture.

Measure ingredients ahead: Pre-measure the milk, sugar, and other ingredients. This will streamline the blending process.

Blend in batches: If making multiple servings, blend larger quantities of the avocado mixture at once and store in the fridge for quick assembly later.
