Are you a coffee lover? Do you want drink coffee milk with chewy texture in it? You can trying this recipe at home. Try this simple boba pearl coffee milk, which is consist of coffee, milk, palm sugar syrup, and boba pearls in it.
Boba pearl or tapioca pearl is made from cassava root starch, sugar, black food coloring, and water. Then it’s shaped into sphere. Sometimes people use another words for example boba, pearl, or bubble. Originally people use boba pearl in milk tea, which is originated from Taiwan. They usually call it bubble tea. But nowadays people use more varied drinks such as coffee milk, chocolate milk, taro, and matcha (green tea).
Although we most of the time find the boba pearl with milk tea, for this recipe my sisters and I use coffee and milk as based. Then we add homemade palm sugar syrup for the sweetener. How to make palm sugar syrup is very easy. We only add palm sugar and water on saucepan with low heat. And then we cook it until sugar is dissolved and the texture is syrupy.
For boba pearl, you can use the raw one. Cook raw boba pearl according to package direction. However sometime people use ready to eat boba pearl for convenience. You can find it in asian section in supermarket or asian store.
Palm sugar we use in this recipe is in a block form. It’s commonly used in Indonesia. But if you can’t find it you can use palm sugar in any form of you choice. Apart from sweetness, palm sugar give the drinks more caramelly and coconut flavors. Therefore you will find unique taste in this drink.
