Homemade Strawberry Milk Tea (2024)

Home Recipes co*cktails and Other Drinks Homemade Strawberry Milk Tea

As the summer just kicked in, the kids are at their grandparents for a week and I have all this spare time for myself, I love to spend my afternoons sipping from a strawberry milk tea. Taking some time for reading, spending time with my hubby, and sharing a refreshing, fruity tea is just what a summer afternoon should look like!

The Taste of Strawberry Milk Bubble Tea

This strawberry milk tea with Tapioca pearls tastes like fresh strawberries with a dash of creaminess from the milk. Something that sounds just right for a relaxing summer day! The tea flavor is not too strong in my recipe; however, it keeps all the sweetness from the strawberry syrup under control. Also, I never use too much milk in my tea, as I prefer to keep it refreshing. This drink is satisfying like combining a fruit smoothie and a milkshake.

So, I would say that the strawberry milk tea tastes like a chilly summer night with your loved one (sweet and calm).

Does Strawberry Milk Bubble Tea Have Caffeine?

Well, that’s why I prefer preparing this tea when my little ones are away. Just imagine serving this good-looking drink with caffeine around my kids. My calm afternoon would become such a drama!

So, yes, there is caffeine in the tea because we use black tea or green tea. Yet, the amount of caffeine is far less than the amount in a regular cup of coffee. Also, if you want to make a completely caffeine-free drink, you can replace regular tea with decaffeinated tea. You can also remove the tea using more milk, which will become a milky strawberry bubble drink—this one you can share with your little greedy ones, too.

Easy Strawberry Milk Tea Boba Recipe

Let’s learn together how to make a fine, homemade strawberry milk bubble tea with some easy steps and affordable ingredients.

What Is Strawberry Milk Tea Made of?

• GreenorBlack Tea:You can use either type of tea you prefer for this recipe. I even went for a strawberry-flavored black tea for an extra strawberry kick. I would also recommend Belgian Chocolate or Rose tea. You can also use strawberry herbal tea or tisane.
• Strawberries:I used fresh strawberries, as they were in season, and I couldn’t resist the flavor. However, if you can’t find fresh fruits, use frozen strawberries instead.
• Quick Cooking Boba (Tapioca pearls): Boba pearls are made of tapioca starch that comes from the cassava root and are 100% vegan. If you can’t find quick-cooking boba, just adapt the boiling time, as said in the product instructions.
• Milk:Your day-by-day milk is all you need. However, if you are looking for a vegan or dairy-free option, usealmondoroat milkinstead.
• Sugar:Your favorite type of granulated sugar is just fine. You can also use simple syrup.

Finally, you should end up with about a ½ cup of strained syrup.

Other Great Uses for Strawberry Syrup

When I make the strawberry syrup for this milk tea I sometimes like to make extra because there are so many great uses for it. The syrup can be keept for 5-7 days in an airtight contianer in your fridge or frozen which is all the more reason to make extra. Here are some of my favorite uses for the leftover strawberry syrup.

• Topping for pancakes, french toast or waffles
• Drizzled on ice cream or yogurt
• Added to seltzer or sparkling water for another refreshing drink option
• Added to sparkling wine for a summer co*cktail
