Thai milk tea is bold, sweet and creamy with its signature orange colour. Here's a simple, café-ready recipe using Boba Tea Company wholesale ingredients.
Ingredients (per serving)
- 60g black tapioca pearls
- 150ml strong brewed black tea (Thai tea blend or Assam), cooled
- 15–30ml fructose (to taste)
- 60ml evaporated milk (or milk of choice)
- Ice
Method
- Cook the tapioca pearls in boiling water following the pack instructions, then rest and drain.
- Brew a strong black tea and let it cool.
- Stir fructose into the tea to taste.
- Add the pearls and ice to the cup, then pour in the sweetened tea.
- Top with evaporated milk for the classic layered look.
- Stir well and serve with a wide boba straw.
Pro tips for cafés
- Brew double-strength to allow for ice melt.
- Adjust sweetness with fructose — start at 15ml and taste.
