Iced Taro Milk Tea

A refreshing and creamy iced taro milk tea made with taro root or taro powder, milk, and sweetener, often served with tapioca pearls. It has a unique nutty and vanilla-like flavor, and its beautiful lavender color makes it visually appealing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons taro powder (or 1/2 cup cooked mashed taro root)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup brewed black tea (optional)
  • 12 tablespoons sweetener (sugar, honey, or syrup, to taste)
  • 1/2 cup tapioca pearls (optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Cook tapioca pearls according to package instructions if using. Drain and set aside.
  2. If using taro root, peel, dice, and steam until soft, then mash until smooth.
  3. In a blender, combine taro powder or mashed taro, milk, brewed tea (if using), and sweetener. Blend until smooth.
  4. Fill a glass with ice and add tapioca pearls at the bottom if desired.
  5. Pour the blended taro milk mixture over the ice.
  6. Stir well before serving and enjoy cold.

Notes

  • You can adjust sweetness based on your taste.
  • Non-dairy milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk work well for a vegan version.
  • Taro powder often contains added color and sugar—check the label if you want to control sweetness or color.
