- Pumpkin Bubbles
- 1/4 cup pumpkin purée
- 2 tbsp glutinous rice flour
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour more as needed
- Liquid Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- 2 cups brewed tea of choice I used hojicha, but chai and black tea are also delicious in this recipe
- 1 cup soymilk or plant milk of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup more to taste
Start by preparing the Pumpkin Bubbles. In a small bowl, mix pumpkin purée and flours. Start with a spoon and then use your hands to work it into a dough. Add additional tapioca flour as needed until the dough is workable without sticking too much to your hands.
Roll into small balls to create your bubbles and once all the dough has been rolled, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add uncooked bubbles to the pot. They're ready once they float to the top and are cooked through. Strain and set aside in a small bowl of water. As an optional step, you can also add a touch of sweetener to the bowl to sweeten the bubbles.
Next prepare your pumpkin sweet cream. Using either a milk frothing machine or a handheld frother, combine milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice and maple syrup. You can also use a blender, or shake ingredients up in a bottle.
To serve, divide bubbles into 2 glasses. Next, layer ice and then pour your tea into the glass. Finish it off with your pumpkin sweet cream and enjoy!
