How to Make Melon Bubble Tea Boba Tea

  1. **Brew the Tea:** Steep 2 cups of green tea bags in 2 cups of hot water for 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of sugar (or to taste) and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  2. **Cook the Tapioca Pearls:** In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
  3. **Add Pearls:** Add 1 cup of tapioca pearls.
  4. **Simmer:** Stir gently, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. **Rest the Pearls:** Remove from heat and let the pearls sit in the hot water for 25 minutes, or until they are chewy and translucent.
  6. **Rinse and Chill:** Drain the pearls and rinse them under cold water. Set aside to cool.
  7. **Prepare the Melon Mixture:** In a blender or food processor, combine 2 cups cubed cantaloupe, 1 cup cubed honeydew melon, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and 1/4 cup ice.
  8. **Blend:** Blend until completely smooth.
  9. **Assemble the Drink:** Add about 1/4 cup of the cooked tapioca pearls to the bottom of each large glass.
  10. **Pour:** Fill the glass with the melon mixture.
  11. **Serve:** Serve immediately with wide, bubble tea straws (recommended).
