Matcha Latte with Mini Taro Balls

DESCRIPTION

Inspired by a similar drink from Machi Machi, these sugar-free mini taro balls are deliciously chewy and a great alternative to normal boba. Serve with matcha latte or your favorite tea of choice!

INGREDIENTS

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

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Peel and cut taro into 1 inch pieces.
2. Steam taro for 15 minute or until tender (when you can easily poke through it with a fork).
3. Transfer taro to a bowl and mash with a fork while it’s still warm.
4. Stir in tapioca flour and stevia.
5. 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.
6. Prepare an ice bath.
7. 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.
8. Prepare [matcha latte](https://chloeting.com/recipes/best-vegan-matcha-latte) and stir in taro balls. Enjoy!
