How to Make Bubble Tea in 10 Minutes

Making bubble tea at home is simple and requires only a few basic ingredients. The best part? It takes only 10 minutes to prepare, so you can enjoy your favorite drink without waiting in long lines.

Ingredients for Your DIY Bubble Tea

Black tea or green tea (your choice)
Tapioca pearls (found at most grocery stores or online)
Milk (dairy or plant-based alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk)
Ice cubes
Sweetener (sugar, honey, or syrup)
Optional toppings (like fruit or flavored syrups)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Brew Your Tea

Start by brewing your black tea or green tea. Boil water and steep the tea for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Once your tea is ready, remove the tea bags and let it cool slightly. You can speed up this process by placing it in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

2. Prepare the Tapioca Pearls

While your tea is cooling, prepare the tapioca pearls. Follow the instructions on the package, which typically involves boiling them for 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse them with cold water to prevent them from sticking. You can sweeten the pearls by adding a little sugar or honey.

3. Assemble Your Bubble Tea

Fill your BriteLune Tumbler with ice cubes, then pour the brewed tea into the tumbler until it’s about 3/4 full. Add the tapioca pearls, then pour in your milk (or dairy alternative). Stir in your sweetener to taste, adjusting it to your sweetness preference.

4. Shake and Serve

Close your BriteLune Tumbler with its leakproof lid and give it a good shake. Your bubble tea is now ready to enjoy! With the BriteLune Tumbler, you can take your refreshing drink on the go without worrying about spills, making it perfect for a busy day.
