Why Try Iced Tea & Cold Brew Bubble Tea at Home
-
More aroma, less bitterness – cold brew unlocks delicate tea flavours without the harshness of hot water.
-
Lasts longer – cold brew tea base stays fresh in fridge for up to 3–4 days, great for meal prep.
-
Flexible sweetness & toppings – you decide. Swap syrup, fruit juices, popping pearls, jellies or plant milks.
-
Eco & cost friendly – fewer trips out; you use your own utensils and control portion.

Step‐by‐Step: Making a Cold Brew Bubble Tea
-
Measure tea leaves (approx 1–1.5 tbsp per 500 ml cold water), place in jar or pitcher.
-
Refrigerate for 6‐12 hours (depending on tea type) for optimal flavour.
-
Meanwhile, cook tapioca pearls or prepare popping pearls.
-
Strain the cold brew; add ice.
-
Mix in syrups or fruit concentrates to taste.
-
Add toppings, wide straw—serve.
Tips to Perfect Your DIY Pairings
-
Start sweet with less; sweeten after tasting the cold brew + toppings.
-
Use room temperature water first to avoid shocking flavour compounds.
-
Store cold brew base separately; combine with toppings/toppings just before serving for best texture.
-
Try layering: fruit concentrate at bottom, ice in middle, cold brew tea on top for a gradient effect.
