Equipment

- Ice cubes – this is optional, but encouraged
- Brown Sugar Boba Pearls – You can use any boba pearls, but Better Boba’s All Natural Pearls are our go to.
- Sweetener (optional) – The brown sugar tapioca pearls already add sweetness, but if you need more or if you find your mangos are not ripe enough, feel free to add in some honey, maple syrup, agave, or your choice of sweetener.

Instructions
How To Make The Mango Milk Tea
- First, prepare the mango puree: (2-3 servings). The mango puree can be done a few different ways, but getting it right makes all the difference. Sure the boba is the star of the show, but the mango puree is the supporting case. Any great team is only as good as its weakest link.
If using FROZEN mango:
- Soak 1 ¼ cups of diced frozen mango with 3 tbsp sugar.
- Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Blend the mango mixture at a medium speed until you reach a drizzling consistency.
If using FRESH mango:
- Place 1 ¼ cups of diced mango and 3 tbsp sugar in a blender.
- Add 1 tbsp of water; more can be added if you prefer a thinner puree.
- Blend the mango mixture until you reach a drizzling consistency.
