Blueberry Milk Tea Ingredients

  • Milk (we used 3 cups)
  • Black tea bags (2)
  • Sugar (½ cup, adjust to taste)
  • Blueberry popping boba (1 container)
  • Reddi‑Whip whipped cream, to top
  • Fresh blueberries, to garnish
  • Purple food coloring – optional, 1 drop for color

How to Make Blueberry Milk Tea

1. In a small saucepan, combine the milk and sugar and warm over medium-high heat until it just reaches a simmer. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then remove the pan from the heat.

2. Add the tea bags to the hot milk and let them steep for about 15 minutes, allowing the tea to infuse fully and build flavor.

3. Remove the tea bags and pour the milk tea into a large pitcher. If desired, add one drop of purple food coloring and stir to create a subtle lavender tint. Chill the pitcher in the refrigerator until cold.

4. When the milk tea is chilled and ready to serve, spoon a few spoonfuls of blueberry boba into each glass. Pour the cold milk tea over the boba, filling the glass.
