This Coconut Bubble Tea takes regular black tea to a whole new level. It's fun to drink, and is a lot cheaper than buying at your local café.
You just need an oversized boba straw to suck up the chewy tapioca pearls. It's great for entertaining, and the perfect pick-me-up.
Other bubble tea recipes are my Vegan Bubble Tea, Lavender Bubble Tea, and Vegan Chocolate Bubble Tea. Other tea recipes are my London Fog Tea Latte, Chocolate Tea, and Hibiscus Tea.
Serve it with some Vegan Benedictine Tea Sandwiches.
