Mango-Rooibos Bubble Tea – Little Big H
Mango-Rooibos Bubble Tea – healthy, easy and perfect for ages 1 – 100….
During my uni days I drank my fair share of bubble tea. It was new to my area at the time and I always ordered it with tapioca and pudding.
My version here is very simple. It’s also healthy, sugar-free and caffeine free so its perfect for toddlers. It is basically mango and pineapple blended with cooled rooibos tea to make a smoothie. If mangos aren’t in season, you could use what ever fruit you like. Add the cooked tapioca pearls and you are done. Enjoy xx
