How to Make Strawberry & Cream Bubble Tea: Inspired by the Wimbledon Classic

Nothing says the Great British Summer quite like fresh strawberries and rich cream at Wimbledon. With the British favourite, Strawberry & Cream Bubble Tea, we have taken that iconic, nostalgic flavour pairing and reimagined it as a luxurious, modern ice-blended treat.

This drink is pure decadence. By blending premium strawberry powder with real milk and finishing it with chunks of fresh fruit, whipped cream, and shortbread, you create a high-value dessert beverage that customers will happily pay a premium for.

Follow this master guide to prepare both regular (500ml) and large (700ml) servings of this summer showstopper.

📋 The Ingredient Checklist

Ensure your blending station is fully stocked with these premium essentials:

• Strawberry Flavoured Powder

• Boba Buzz Strawberry Flavoured Syrup (for drizzle)

• Strawberry Natate de Coco (Coconut Jelly) or Strawberry Popping Boba

• Fresh whole milk

• Fresh, large British strawberries

• Whipped cream (aerosol or freshly whipped)

• Crushed shortbread biscuits

• Ice and a commercial blender

🥤 The Master Recipes

🥣 Step-by-Step Preparation Guide

Step 1: The First Blend (Smooth Base)

In your commercial blender jar, combine the fresh milk, Boba Buzz Strawberry Flavoured Powder, and the ice. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds (or until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and frappe-like with no ice chunks).

Step 2: The Second Blend (The Fresh Fruit Burst)

Drop your fresh strawberry (or strawberries for a large one) directly into the blender jar. Pulse or blend on a low speed for just 5 seconds.

⚠️ Barista Tip: Do not over-blend at this stage! You only want to break up the fruit enough to release its natural juices and leave delightful, juicy small chunks throughout the drink.

Step 3: Set up the base.

In a clean, transparent serving cup, add a generous 50g scoop of Strawberry Natate de Coco or Strawberry Popping Boba. Pour your beautifully textured, freshly blended strawberry slushy directly into the cup over the toppings.

Step 4: Add the Wimbledon Finishes

To give it that premium, dessert-style appeal, top the drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Drizzle a zig-zag layer of Boba Buzz Strawberry Flavoured Syrup over the cream and finish with a sprinkle of crushed shortbread biscuit for that authentic, buttery British crunch. Serve immediately with a wide dome lid and straw.

💰 Boost Your Dessert Menu Margins

Drinks that incorporate fresh fruit elements alongside a powder base allow you to command a much higher retail price point. The Strawberry Powder guarantees a stable, rich, and intensely flavourful baseline, meaning you only need one or two fresh berries per cup to achieve that premium, artisanal look and taste.
