Ingredients

Scale

For the Mochi Shell:

  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar

For the Milk Tea Filling:

  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non‑dairy)
  • 1 tsp black tea leaves (strong brew or 1 black tea bag brewed and cooled)
  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

For the Boba Pearls:

  • 1/2 cup cooked tapioca pearls (prepared according to package)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey (to coat pearls)

Instructions

  1. Prepare boba: After cooking tapioca pearls, toss immediately in brown sugar or honey. Set aside.
  2. Make milk tea: Brew strong black tea, mix with milk and condensed milk, then chill completely.
  3. Cook mochi dough: In a bowl, whisk glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water until smooth. Microwave 1 min, stir, then 1 min more until thick and sticky.
  4. Shape mochi shells: Dust work surface generously with cocoa powder. Transfer dough, flatten to 1/4″ thickness. Cut into 8 circles.
  5. Fill mochi sandwiches: Place a spoonful of chilled milk tea filling and 3–4 boba pearls in center of each circle. Carefully pinch edges closed, sealing into a neat sphere.
  6. Dust and serve: Roll filled mochi in cocoa powder. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving for best texture.
