How to Make a Taro Slush at Home (Just Like Bubble Tea Shops)

Craving a creamy, icy taro slush but don’t feel like lining up at a bubble tea shop and breaking the bank? You’re not alone. Taro slush is one of the most popular drinks on any boba menu, thanks to its dreamy purple hue and sweet, nutty flavor.
The good news? You can easily make taro slush at home—and yes, it tastes just like the ones from your favorite bubble tea spots. With the Hakumori Taro Instant Boba Kit, it’s even easier (and faster) than you think.
🧋 What Is Taro Slush?
Taro slush is a frozen blended drink made from taro root (or more commonly, taro powder), milk or cream, sweetener, and ice. It’s similar in texture to a milkshake but with the nostalgic flavor of taro—earthy, vanilla-like, and naturally sweet.
When served with chewy tapioca pearls, it becomes a refreshing treat that’s equal parts dessert and drink.

🌀 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Blend It Up

Add all ingredients to a blender: taro powder, cold water, ice, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Blend until the texture is smooth and slushy.
2. Prep Your Boba

Cut a small slit in the instant boba pack and microwave for 25 seconds.
Pro Tip: Keep your boba in the sealed pouch (don't pour it out before you microwave) to ensure it heats evenly and stays chewy.
3. Assemble

In a tall cup, add your microwaved tapioca pearls first. Then pour in the taro slush mixture. Stir, sip, and enjoy!
