Some bubble tea shops use milk powder rather than fresh milk or a combination of the two to achieve the desired creaminess.

A 230 gram package of dried/raw bubble tea pearls will make about 10 portions. Other fresh fruits such as papaya and mango make tasty substitutions.

1/2 cup chilled, cooked bubble tea pearls
1 cup crushed ice
1 cup canned lychees with syrup or fresh pitted fresh lychees OR
    other fresh fruits such as mango and papaya
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup homogenized milk or cereal cream
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Honey or sugar, to taste

Place pearls in a large parfait glass. Combine all remaining ingredients in a blender and blend for 1 minute or until mixture is frothy and creamy. Pour into glass and serve with extra thick straws.

Makes 1 (16 ounce) drink.
