Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!
