What is Brown Sugar Boba Matcha Latte?
Brown Sugar Boba Matcha Latte is a chilled dessert drink featuring a milky matcha latte and chewy bobas. You can sometimes find this unique beverage at select bubble tea shops and it's absolutely delicious to drink! The taste of the bouncy bobas with the smooth matcha latte is a wonderful contrast in texture.
I love making this on hot summer days when I don't feel particularly keen on coffee but would like something caffeinated and cold. It's easy and simple to make with minimal ingredients. I also save myself $5-10. The chewy bobas also make it a fun drink to enjoy!

How to Make Brown Sugar Boba Matcha Latte
Prepare Bobas
In a small pot filled with water, bring it to a boil. Add your bobas in and boil according to packet instructions. Stir immediately to prevent the bobas from sticking and make sure to stir every now and then.
*If your packet is missing instructions, mine advised that I boil the bobas for 25 minutes uncovered over medium flame. Then turn off the heat and allow the bobas to sit in the pot of water for another 20 minutes, covered.
Strain and Rinse Bobas
Strain and rinse off with cold water to retain bounciness of bobas.
Create Brown Sugar Syrup
In another small pot, add brown sugar and ¼ cup water. Bring this to a boil and let this simmer over medium heat until it becomes a very thick syrup. Set aside and keep warm.
Create Matcha Tea
In large measuring cup, whisk together your matcha powder and ½ cup of hot boiling water.
Place Bobas in Serving Glass
To assemble your drink, spoon your bobas into the base of the glass.
Add Syrup
Drizzle the brown sugar syrup along the walls of the glass.
Add Ice cubes
Fill your glass with ice, as much as desired.
Pour in matcha tea & milk
Pour your matcha tea into the glass, followed by your milk of choice. Stir and enjoy your brown sugar latte bubble tea!
