After my aloe plant fell over today, accidentally breaking off some fleshy leaf offerings, I wanted to try something different.
Strawberry Bubble Tea with Aloe Jelly
1/2 a small lime
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1 cup of cold fruity tea (I used Teavana Strawberry Cream)
3-4 ice cubes
- Brew one cup of fruity tea and set aside or in the fridge to cool.
- Peel aloe, cut into cubes and place in a pot with the juice of 1/2 a lime and 1 tbsp of coconut sugar.
- Let it simmer until the liquid has evaporated or absorbed into the aloe leaf cubes.
- Place aloe cubes in the bottom of a clear glass. Add cooled tea and ice.
- Enjoy!
Pu’erh Bubble Tea with Aloe Jelly
1 cup or pu’erh tea (brewed for 7m)(let cool)
1.5 tsp of honey
1 aloe vera leaf, peeled and cubed (Lu Hui)
3-4 ice cubes
A dash of almond/soy/hemp milk (the nature of almond or hemp milk might look kind of chunky, but it’s still just as tasty)
- Brew one cup of pu’erh tea for 7m
- Add honey, let dissolve and set aside or in the fridge to cool.
- Peel aloe, cut into cubes and place in a pot on medium heat to absorb some of the liquid. * You can sweeten this with coconut sugar or honey as well but I wanted this recipe to be less sweet.
- Place aloe cubes in the bottom of a clear glass. Add cooled tea and ice with a dash of milk and enjoy!
** Don’t make the same mistake as me and be sure to cut your aloe small enough to fit through a boba straw. :P **
