Subtle and earthy sweet potatoes are blended with soy milk and brown sugar syrup to create a creamy, decadent, and refreshing milk tea (minus the actual tea). Pair with fresh boba to snack as your sip.

Ingredients (1 oz = 28.3gm)

Milk Tea (one serving)

• 8 oz unsweetened soy milk
• 1.5 oz boiled sweet potato, peeled*
• 2 oz brown sugar syrup
• ice

Smoothie (one serving)

• 4 oz unsweetened soy milk
• 5 oz ice
• 1 oz sweetened condensed coconut milk
• 1 oz boiled sweet potato, peeled
• 1 oz brown sugar syrup*

Boba

• 3/4 c tapioca pearls
• brown sugar syrup

Directions

1. Boba: Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Once at a rolling boil, add in tapioca pearls and gently stir until they float to the top.
2. Place on a lid and continue to cook at a rolling boil for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so. Turn off the heat, keep on the lid, and let sit for another 15 minutes.
3. Drain into a colander, rinse thoroughly with cold water, shake out excess, and transfer to a bowl or airtight container. Add enough brown sugar syrup to come up to the top of the boba and cover until ready to use; best within 3 hours.
4. Milk Tea: Combine all the ingredients in a personal sized blender or mason jar and blitz or shake until creamy. Serve with a 1/4 cup of boba and plenty of ice.
5. Smoothie: Combine all ingredients in a personal sized blender and blitz until drink is icy but not crunchy. Serve with a 1/4 cup boba.

*To make brown sugar syrup, combine 3/4 cup of brown sugar with 3/4 cup of water in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir until brown sugar is dissolved; about 4 minutes. Store in a mason jar or squeeze bottle for easy access.
*To cook sweet potatoes, peel them, dice them into small chunks, and boil them in a pot of water until fork tender; 10-15 minutes.
