Taiwanese Bubble Tea has been having a huge comeback, rapidly taking over Asian countries (plus North American cities) with healthier and more innovative drinks!

Tiger Sugar (老虎堂), Yifang (一芳水果茶), Xing Fu Tang (辛福堂), Chatime (日出茶太), The Alley, (鹿角巷)…and so so many more brands are releasing more and more yummy “dessert” drinks like Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk (黑糖珍珠鲜奶), a variety of Fruit Teas (水果茶) & Milk Teas (奶茶).

The new Boba trend is on fire!

With an incurable obsession with Taro and all things purple, I order Fresh Taro Milk every time I visit a new store – in hopes to find the Best Taro Milk! 😀

So, why not develop our very own version of the tastiest Taro Milk in our Instant Pot?

What is Taro?

Taro root is a starchy root vegetable originally cultivated in Asia.

It’s a good source of fiber and many vitamins & minerals that benefit our overall health (i.e. helps improve digestion, lower blood sugar levels, boost immune system).

If you’re familiar with Haiwaiian food, the popular Hawaiian side dish “Poi” is exactly made of Taro root! 🙂

Time to make the tastiest Taro Milk in Instant Pot!

Prepare Ingredients for Instant Pot Taro Milk:

Instant Pot Taro Milk Recipe Ingredients  #AmyJacky #InstantPot #PressureCooker #recipes #taro #drinks #taiwanese

*Pro Tip: We’ve added purple sweet potato in this Taro Milk Recipe for a boost of natural sweetness and more beautiful purple coloring.

*Pro Tip: You may want to wear gloves to prepare the Taro because sometimes taro may irritate some people’s skin.

Cut the taro and sweet purple potato into 1.5″ thick pieces.

1

Pressure Cook Taro & Sweet Potato


Pour 1 cup (250ml) cold water, and place steamer rack in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.

 Make Mashed Taro


*Pro Tip: We’re aiming to kind of overcook the Taro and Sweet Potatoes, so it’ll be a lot easier to mash with no ill effect on taste.

Pressure Cooker Taro and Pressure Cooker Purple Sweet Potatoes  #AmyJacky #InstantPot #PressureCooker #recipe

Place the pressure cooked taro and sweet potato chunks in a large mixing bowl.

Make Mashed Taro and Sweet Potatoes  #AmyJacky #InstantPot #PressureCooker #recipe

Mash the taro and sweet potatoes while they’re still hot. Add in 2 large pinches of salt and cup (68g) white sugar as you’re mashing.

*Pro Tip: Adjust how much you mash your taro according to if you like your Taro Milk with some taro chunks, taro bits, or if you like it ultra smooth with no chunks at all.

*Pro Tip: For the optimal sweetness, taste and adjust the mashed taro until it tastes just a little too sweet for you. But as always, you can use less or more sugar according to your personal preferences. 🙂

The mashed taro can be used immediately or chilled in the fridge (can store for ~3 days) or in the freezer (can store up to 2 months).

 Make Instant Pot Taro Milk


*Pro Tip: The milk you use in this step can be cold or hot.

Mix cup + 1 tablespoon (100g) warm mashed taro with roughly cup (83ml) milk until desired consistency.

*Pro Tip: if you’re using chilled mashed taro, heat cup + 1 tablespoon (100g) mashed taro in a microwave for 30 – 45 seconds.

Make Instant Pot Taro Milk Paste  #AmyJacky #InstantPot #PressureCooker #recipes

Depends on how smooth you want your taro drink, you can mix the taro by hand or in a blender.

*Pro Tip: If you are mixing the taro and milk with a blender, skip heating the mashed taro prior to blending. 

Add the taro milk paste into a cup. Top it up with roughly cup (167ml) milk. Give it a few quick stir and serve immediately 🙂
