Taro Balls
75g taro
30g tapioca flour
2 tsp monk fruit erythritol sweetener
1 tbsp hot water
Matcha Latte
1.5 tsp matcha powder
1 tbsp hot water
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
240ml oat milk
4-5 ice cubes
- Peel and cut taro into 1 inch pieces.
- Steam taro for 15 minute or until tender (when you can easily poke through it with a fork).
- Transfer taro to a bowl and mash with a fork while it’s still warm.
- Stir in tapioca flour and stevia.
- Stir in hot water. Using your hands, knead mixture into a dough. Then, shape the dough into little round balls. After all the dough is used up, lightly dust the taro balls with some tapioca flour. Get rid of excess tapioca flour using a sieve.
- Prepare an ice bath.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add taro balls and cook for 1 minute or until they float. Drain and transfer to ice bath immediately. Drain again and the taro balls are ready for use.
- Prepare matcha latte and stir in taro balls. Enjoy!
