Step 1

Boil the cubed taro root for 20 minutes on medium heat. It should be soft enough to poke through with a fork.

Step 2

Discard the water. Smash the cooked ground root until an even paste is formed. For a smoother paste, use a food processor or blender. Incorporate the sugar while the paste is still hot. Set aside.

Step 3

Add your boba to a pot of boiling water. Add 2 tsp of sugar and allow this boil for 5-7 minutes. Once the boba begin to float these are done. Adjust the timing depending on how firm or soft you prefer them. Remove from hot water and set them aside.

Step 4

Brew the ceylon and let this mix well with fresh ground root paste and condensed milk.

Step 5

Finally, add the milk and tapioca pearls to the mixture. Serve the taro milk tea hot or cold.
