Cornstarch Boba - Strawberry Ice Cream Boba Drink

Step 1

Add 100g strawberry ice cream and 20g strawberry syrup to a nonstick pan. Turn on medium-low heat, stir until the ice cream is simmering.

Step 2

Quickly add 3 tbsps of cornstarch to the mixture, stir until dissolved.

Step 3

Stir the mixture with a spatula for about 5 minutes until the mixture has been thickened - when you tilt the pan, the mixture won't flow like a liquid.

Step 4

Turn off the heat, add 3 tbsps of cornstarch to the pan, mix with a spatula.

Step 5

Transfer the dough out to a kneading bowl or a kneading mat.

Step 6

Knead the dough with your hands until smooth. (If the dough is sticky, you can gradually mix in an extra 1 tsp of cornstarch to the dough. If the dough is too dry, you can add 1 tsp of strawberry syrup or water to the dough.)

Step 7

Pinch small pieces of dough by hand, roll them into ¼-inch-diameter balls. (The boba dough will become dryer once it cools down. If the boba cracks when you roll it, you can add a little bit of water to the rest of the dough, knead the dough until it's smooth again.)

Step 8

In a large pot, boil ⅔ pot of water. Use medium high heat. Add the bobas to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to each other.

Step 9

Once all the bobas are floating, cover the pot, simmer the bobas over low heat for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Drain the bobas. Make them go through iced water for a chewier texture.

Step 11

Add 300ml milk and 1 tsp of strawberry syrup to a cup, stir to mix well.

Step 12

Add ½ cup of boiled boba and 1 tbsp of strawberry syrup to a 16 oz cup, stir to mix well. Fill the cup with ice cubes and strawberry milk.

Step 13

Dice 2 fresh strawberries into small cubes. Sprinkle the diced strawberries on the top of the drink.

Step 14

Optionally, add one scoop of ice cream on the top.
