1. How to make passion fruit milk tea with coconut jelly topping
Passion fruit milk tea paired with coconut jelly (nata de coco) offers a refreshing balance of sweet and tangy flavors, complemented by a light creaminess from the milk. With the simple method below, you can easily prepare a fragrant, café-quality drink at home to enjoy with family and friends.
1.1 Ingredients for passion fruit milk tea
Before getting started, gather the following ingredients to ensure a smooth preparation process and achieve the best flavor for your passion fruit milk tea.
6 g black tea (or 3 tea bags if using filter tea)
60 ml passion fruit syrup
125 ml heavy cream
50 g coconut jelly
50 g tapioca pearls
1.2 How to make passion fruit milk tea
Step 1: Brew the black tea
Heat about 700 ml of filtered water until it reaches approximately 90°C (194°F), then turn off the heat and steep the black tea.
Allow the tea to steep for about 10 minutes to fully extract its deep aroma and flavor, then strain to remove the tea leaves for a smooth finish. If you’re using tea bags, simply follow the same steps to create a robust, full-bodied tea base that enhances the overall taste of your milk tea.
Step 2: Prepare the milk tea
Pour 125 ml of heavy cream into a large bowl and whip it with an electric mixer until it thickens and becomes smooth and fluffy.
Next, pour the brewed tea into a glass, add 60 ml of passion fruit syrup, and stir well - or use a shaker - to ensure the tea and syrup are fully combined for a balanced flavor.
Then add the cooked tapioca pearls and coconut jelly topping to the glass, creating a fun mix of textures in every sip, and fill the glass with ice to keep the drink perfectly chilled. Finish by gently layering the whipped cream on top for a rich, velvety finish that makes the milk tea even more indulgent.
2. Finished drink
Once prepared, the passion fruit milk tea stands out with its beautiful layered appearance - the deep amber hue of the tea contrasted by a luscious layer of creamy white foam on top. The drink delivers a delightful and distinctive flavor, elevated by the gentle tartness of passion fruit syrup that adds brightness to every sip. Served with chewy homemade tapioca pearls and refreshing coconut jelly, the toppings provide a pleasant texture while helping balance the sweetness for a more satisfying and well-rounded drink.
If you like, you can easily customize this drink by adding a variety of toppings such as fruit jelly, almond jelly, or water chestnuts. These additions enhance the overall experience without overpowering the distinctive passion fruit flavor, making each sip even more enjoyable.
