Updated on March 4th, 2024
It is officially Spring, and I wanted to share the bubble tea kit I bought and how to make fruit bubble tea yourself, which would be the perfect drink for the warmer weather.
One of the bubble tea cafes in Copenhagen, Tea:licious Cafe sells a bubble tea kit, and since Denmark is still in a partial lockdown, it has been a while since I have been to Copenhagen so I decided to buy the kit to make my own bubble tea. The kit can only be shipped in Denmark, but if you bought all the ingredients in your country, you could make bubble tea yourself.
The fruit bubble tea recipe below makes 1 portion.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of fruit syrup (I chose peach-mango and passion-mango, but you can use any fruit syrup flavor such as strawberry, blueberry, cherry, apple, lychee, etc.)
- 1/3 cup of popping boba pearls (I chose mango and passion, but again, you can choose your own flavor)
- 1 tablespoon of loose-leaf jasmine green tea or Assam tea (you can use other teas as well, but black or green teas are the most common. You can also use 1-2 tea bags instead if you do not want to use loose-leaf tea)
- 1 cup of water
- ~10 ice cubes
Note: It is also common to use tapioca pearls instead of popping boba pearls, which you can purchase from some stores or online. However, you will have to boil the tapioca pearls before using them, unlike the popping boba pearls which require no cooking. If you decide to use tapioca pearls, read the directions on the packaging for how long to boil them as the cooking time may vary. It is also common to use milk and sugar if you are using tapioca pearls.
Along with these ingredients, you will also need:
- A tea filter if you are using loose-leaf tea
- A mug to brew the tea in
- A shaker or a cup with a lid
- A large glass for the bubble tea
- A jumbo straw
Directions
The directions are divided into three parts – brew the tea, make the fruit tea mix, and assemble the bubble tea.
Brew the Tea
- Boil 1 cup of water (it is easiest to use an electric kettle, but you could use a stovetop kettle or even the microwave )
- Pour the water into a mug
- If you are using loose-leaf tea, place 1 tablespoon of either the jasmine or assam tea into the tea filter (you can of course use more tea if you want a stronger tea flavor)
- Place the tea filter or 1 tea bag (or 2 tea bags if you want a stronger flavor) into the mug
- Let the tea steep for at least 5 minutes
Make the Fruit Tea Mix
- After the tea has steeped for 5 minutes, place the fruit syrup into the shaker
- Take the tea filter or tea bag out of the mug and pour the tea into the shaker
- Add ice cubes (I used about 5-10 small ice cubes)
- Place the lid on the shaker and shake it to mix the syrup and tea
Assemble the Bubble Tea
- Add the popping boba pearls into the glass you are using for the bubble tea
- Add in 3-4 ice cubes
- Pour in the fruit tea mix from the shaker
- Place your jumbo straw in the glass
- Enjoy!

I tried a brown sugar bubble tea once and absolutely hated. I think it may have just been the place I ordered it from, but I am scared to even try it again. Which sucks because it’s all that people rave about these days.
Maybe I’ll get up the courage to try it again one day. And I hope it will taste better.
I’m sorry to hear you hated it! I do think you should give it a try again and maybe go a different place and order one of the fruit bubble teas!
These look delicious! There is a really good boba shop not far from where I live, so I visit often. I never thought to try and make my own at home, but now I think I will. It looks like fun.
Thank you! That’s great you have a boba shop near you, but there’s none near me so it’s nice having the option to make it at home!
Ooo this is so clever!
Thank you!
I haven’t tried bubble tea before, but it loos great. How good that you can buy a kit, so you get your bubble tea and help out a local business too!

Bubble tea is delicious & you can get pretty much get any flavor you like!
Yes exactly! The cafe has 2 locations & only 1 was open so it’s great that I got to help them out
I really need to find popping pearls, although I have started to warm up to actual boba lately! But I’d really love to learn to make it myself some day!
You should try looking online! There’s this Danish website that sells everything tea-related so I assume there would be other sites elsewhere too!
Yes I’ve had the tapioca pearls years ago & I liked it, but I do prefer the popping pearls!
I’m definitely going to look into that because I have no idea where to find these lol!
We’ve actually never had Bubble Tea. It’s so great that you’re collaborating with other bloggers! We can’t wait to check it out.
I think bubble tea is amazing & you can have pretty much any flavor of tea you like.
I love doing the blog collab with the other ladies!
I’ve never tried bubble tea before or attempted to make it but this recipe sounds so yummy and helpful! Great post x
Thank you! I LOVE bubble tea & you can do pretty much any flavor you would like & it’s not that difficult to make either!

Yum! I haven’t had bubble tea in a long time! I generally get the milky or slushy flavours but I enjoy regular tea flavours too. Thank you for sharing x

I last had bubble tea from a cafe in December when I had a weekend away before this lockdown but I needed more haha. I used to get the milk tea with tapioca pearls all the time in college but now I LOVE the popping pearls!
Oh I need to make this for myself! This tea sounds delicious and this is the kind of tea I drink everyday! x

You do & it is so good!
I’ve never tried bubble tea before and have always been intrigued to try it out. This actually looks really tasty, I wish we had something like this in the UK x
I love bubble tea! They don’t have any bubble tea cafes there? They have cafes in the larger cities here in Denmark.
They do have Cafes but not bubble tea kits x
Oh okay!
I’ve never tried bubble tea and I’ve actually never had a proper idea of what it was hahaha! But this sounds and looks lovely so I’d love to try it xxx
I love bubble tea & it is so good! The most popular bubble tea is the one with the tapioca pearls and milk
This sounds great. I rarely drink caffiene now and prefer a fruity tea! I love the idea of infusing the flavours myself!

It is delicious! I don’t drink coffee so tea is my go-to & I especially love bubble tea like this!
This looks so good! 😍 I’ve never had bubble tea before but I would absolutely love to try this
It is delicious! Do they have any bubble tea cafes in Norway? There’s none in Roskilde, but there’s a few in Copenhagen!
This tea looks so delicious! I also think it’s awesome that your shop sells a kit to make your own bubble tea with! That’s great, especially with the pandemic going on. I love bubble tea, although I’ve only been able to have it a few times. But with this recipe, I can make it myself at home! This is such a fantastic post! I absolutely loved it!! ✨💖 And I will be saving it for future reference to make delicious bubble tea! 🤗
It was delicious! & I think it’s great too because I didn’t have to travel to Copenhagen. I love bubble tea too & yes now you can make it yourself!
Aw thank you! ❤
I’m sure it was, the flavors you picked sounded super yummy! That’s really nice, too. It makes it so convenient and easy to make your own bubble tea! This really makes me wish I had a bubble tea shop with take-home kits nearby. Regardless, I now have the recipe for it from your wonderful post! 🤗✨ And you’re very welcome! 💖
I have never tried bubble tea. I wonder if the flavor from the bubbles infuses in it? I have to really try this.
I love bubble tea! Well the popping pearls have the fruit juice inside so you don’t taste it until you eat them.
I have never tried bubble tea but this sounds lovely. I will have to give this a go x x
I love bubble tea & you should definitely try it one day!
This sounds really yummy. I have tried bubble tea once after my youngest sister told me about how good it was and we had some together. It was so yummy! Thank you for sharing.
It was delicious & that’s great you got to try one with your sister!
You’re welcome!
I absolutely love that you were able to get a kit for this! I’d love to find something like that where I live. Bubble tea of all kinds is one of my favorite treats but I don’t get it very often anymore because I don’t want to go out to a cafe for it haha! You’re inspiring me to make it at home!
I love that they had a kit too & I love bubble tea, but there are no cafes in my city & I’m not going to travel during the lockdown for one
You should definitely try making it at home!
I’ve never tried bubble tea before! I really need to give it a go and see if I like it or not. It really does look cool!

Yes exactly & you’re welcome!
I’ve never tried bubble tea but a few places near me offer it. Might have to give it a try. 😊
I love bubble tea & you should try it! 😄
This is such a great idea to make at home!! The sprogs love bubble tea and only ever drink it when we’re in Greece. There is a cafe here that does it but they’re never with me when I’m near there haha so I’ll have to give this a go!! Xx
Thank you! I love bubble tea too & oh wow Greece is far! That’s great there’s a cafe near you, but you definitely try it out!
Omg I want to do this! When I tried bubble tea it was a bit of a let down, so making it myself would be so much fun. Thank you for sharing x
Aw that’s a shame it was a let down when you tried it, but it would be fun & I loved these!
