Ingredients

Scale

Milk Tea Base

  • 1 cup brewed black tea, chilled
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or preferred dairy/non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of choice

Pumpkin Mixture

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Tapioca Pearls

  • 1/4 cup tapioca pearls, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Milk Tea: Brew 1 cup of black tea and chill it in the refrigerator. In a separate container, mix the chilled tea with milk and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved completely to create a smooth milk tea base.
  2. Mix Pumpkin and Spices: In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir thoroughly until the spices are well incorporated into the pumpkin puree, creating a fragrant and flavorful pumpkin spice mixture.
  3. Combine Pumpkin Mixture and Milk Tea: Slowly stir the pumpkin spice mixture into the milk tea base until fully blended, resulting in a creamy and aromatic pumpkin pie milk tea.
  4. Add Tapioca Pearls: After cooking tapioca pearls according to the package directions, drain and rinse them briefly to remove excess starch. Add the cooked pearls to the pumpkin pie milk tea and stir gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Serve: Pour the pumpkin pie bubble tea into glasses with a wide straw. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor contrast between the creamy tea and chewy pearls.

Notes

  • Use fresh brewed tea for the best flavor; black tea varieties like Assam or Earl Grey work well.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste depending on the type of milk and pumpkin puree used.
  • For a thicker pumpkin flavor, increase pumpkin puree to 1/3 cup.
  • Cook tapioca pearls fresh before serving to maintain their chewy texture.
  • Non-dairy milks like oat or almond milk can be used for a vegan version.
