I went to Hong Kong earlier this summer and became hugely obsessed with bubble tea. It’s such a weird texture that you can’t help but enjoy it. To continue with my pumpkin spice extravaganza (check out my Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles and Pumpkin Spice Caramel posts!), I decided to marry my two favorite things in the world. I bought my tapioca pearls and jumbo straws on Amazon and got to work! The flavor of the black tea and pumpkin spice works really well together and it’s super easy to make! In addition, you can increase or decrease the amount of milk, tea, and tapioca pearls to match your preference. Try it for yourself!

Pumpkin Spice Bubble Tea
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
Tapioca Pearls:
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup tapioca pearls
- ½ cup hot water
- ½ cup brown sugar
Tea:
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 2–3 bags black tea
- 2.5 cups water
- Milk (soy, skim, almond – whatever you prefer)
- Ice
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add tapioca pearls. Boil for 20 minutes. Turn off stove and cover for 15 minutes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir ½ cup of hot water with brown sugar until all the brown sugar is dissolved to create a simple syrup.
- Drain the tapioca pearls and wash with cold water. Place pearls in the bowl with the simple syrup. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring 2.5 cups water to boil. Add tea bag and pumpkin spice. Boil for 5 minutes.
- Place 4 tablespoons of tapioca pearls into each glass. Top with ice cubes and pour equal amounts of tea into each cup, leaving room for milk. Pour your choice of milk into each glass. Stir with your straw and enjoy!
Notes
Tips: If you want you drink to be sweeter- just add some simple syrup from the tapioca pearls into your drink and stir!
You can store left over tapioca pearls in simple syrup in your fridge for a few days. They might dry out a big, but you can pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften up.
