About The Recipe
With its roots tracing back to ancient Persia over 4,000 years ago, the honeydew melon has a regal history as one of nature's sweetest gifts. It's succulent flesh and pale green hue make it a refreshing delight, and its name is said to have been inspired by the melon's honey-like sweetness. Throughout the centuries, honeydew has become known for its ability to support bone health, reduce blood pressure, hydrate, and boost the immune system.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Easy to make and easy to clean up
- Healthy and nutritious ingredients
Ingredient Substitutions
- Maple Syrup: While this recipe calls for maple syrup as its sweetener, feel free to swap out the maple syrup for another sweet addition! Honey or agave syrup would be great substitutes. I recommend natural ingredients if you can, but even if all you have is simple syrup, it’ll still do the trick!
- Dairy-free Milk: I’ve opted to use dairy free milk in this recipe because I just find it tastes better but if you’re someone who likes a creamy bubble tea or you’d simply prefer regular cows milk, go for it.
TIPS & TRICKS
- If you like a bubble tea with extra fruity chunks in it, blend the ingredients in step 4 until just before smooth!
- Make sure you have a straw that’s big enough to fit the tapioca pearls. There’s nothing worse than trying to get those bubbles of goodness without a straw or with one that’s slightly too small.
