Description

This Bubble Tea Pudding recipe combines the creamy texture of milk pudding with the delightful chewiness of chia seeds, infused with bold black tea flavor and topped with a luscious salted foam. It’s an innovative twist on classic bubble tea, offering a refreshing dessert that’s easy to prepare and perfect for tea lovers.


Ingredients

Scale

Milk Tea Pudding

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tsp black tea leaves
  • 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Salted Foam Topping

  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Steep the Tea: Heat the milk in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling, then remove from heat. Stir in the black tea leaves and let steep for 5 minutes to infuse the milk with tea flavor. Strain the milk to remove the tea leaves.
  2. Sweeten the Milk: Stir in the dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the hot tea-infused milk until dissolved. Cool the mixture slightly by refrigerating for 15 minutes.
  3. Add Chia Seeds: Stir the chia seeds into the cooled milk mixture thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  4. Set the Pudding: Pour the mixture into two serving glasses and refrigerate for approximately 3 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
  5. Prepare Salted Foam: In a mixing bowl, whisk the whipping cream with a pinch of salt and brown sugar until soft peaks form, creating a light salted foam topping.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Spoon or pipe the salted foam on top of the set chia pudding in each glass. Serve chilled as a refreshing and creamy dessert.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk, such as dairy, almond, oat, or soy, depending on dietary preferences.
  • For stronger tea flavor, increase steeping time up to 7 minutes but avoid bitterness.
  • Make sure to stir the chia seeds well to prevent clumping before setting.
  • The pudding will thicken more as it chills, so resist adding extra liquid after refrigeration.
  • The salted foam adds a nice contrast, but can be replaced with sweetened whipped cream if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge covered for up to 2 days.
