Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup black tapioca pearls (boba) – This is the BEST >>>Tapioca Pearl – Black Sugar Flavor (Ready in 5 Minutes)
- 2 Tablespoons real maple syrup (light or dark brown sugar can be substituted)
- 1/8 teaspoon gingerbread spice (I highly recommend gingerbread, you could sub pumpkin spice or cinnamon realizing it has a little different flavor profile, but it will still be delicious)
- 2 – double shots of espresso (1 double shot per glass and instant espresso works too!)
- 3 oz kahlua (1.5 oz per glass)
- 20 ounces of oatmilk (10 ounces per glass)
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Place a few ice cubes in a small bowl of water. This will be your ice bath for the boba after it’s boiled.
- Cook 1/2 cup boba according to package directions, strain them into an ice bath, and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons maple syrup or brown sugar with 1/8 teaspoon gingerbread spice.
- Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the boba from the ice bath and place into the maple syrup mixture and allow to soak for 10 minutes or up to an hour.
- In two 13-16 oz highball/collins, place one half of the boba pearls in each glass – like this set >>> Italian Highball Glasses [Set of 6] – 13 Ounce Cups
- In two separate cups, pour 2 oz espresso and 1 1/2 ounces kahlua.
- Pour 10 ounces of chilled oatmilk in each glass over the boba.
- Pour the espresso kahlua mixture over the oatmilk and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
