🖤 Wednesday Addams Inspired Bubble Tea (Serves 1)
Bold and moody, this bubble tea combines the smoky depth of black tea with rich black cocoa and chewy tapioca pearls for a drink that’s dark, bittersweet, and perfectly gothic.
Tips for Making Wednesday Addams Bubble Tea
🖤 Choose a strong tea base: Assam or English breakfast works best for that bold, dark flavour that matches Wednesday’s aesthetic. Don’t let the tea steep too long, though 3–5 minutes is enough to keep it smooth, not bitter.
🖤 Get the colour right: Use black cocoa powder for a naturally rich, dark shade. If you don’t have it, activated charcoal (edible charcoal) or a few drops of black food colouring can create the same spooky look.
🖤 Sweeten thoughtfully: Molasses adds a deep, almost smoky sweetness that pairs perfectly with black cocoa. If you prefer, maple syrup or honey can be used as an alternative.
🖤 Perfect pearls: Make sure to cook your tapioca pearls fresh, they’re best within a few hours of cooking. Toss them in molasses or brown sugar syrup so they don’t stick together.
🖤 Layer for drama: To really show off the “Wednesday” effect, drizzle syrup around the inside of your glass before adding pearls, ice, and milk tea. It makes the drink look extra gothic and Halloween-ready.
🖤 Top it off: Finish with whipped cream, an extra dusting of black cocoa powder, and dark sprinkles for a creepy garnish.

🌈 Enid Sinclair Inspired Bubble Tea (Serves 1)
Sweet, creamy, and colorful, this pastel boba blends butterfly pea flower tea with strawberry milk, coconut creaminess, and rainbow pearls for a fun, candy-like treat that’s as vibrant as Enid herself.
Tips for Making Enid Sinclair Bubble Tea
🌈 Steep gently for colour: Butterfly pea flower tea gives Enid’s drink its gorgeous pastel-to-vivid blue layers. Steep for 5–7 minutes, then cool completely so it doesn’t melt the milk layer.
🌈 Use creamy coconut milk: Coconut milk creates the best pastel contrast with the blue tea and pink syrup. If you prefer a lighter flavour, swap in oat or almond milk.
🌈 Sweeten with flair: Rose or strawberry syrup gives Enid’s bubble tea its pink “pop.” Add a little more for a stronger pastel effect, or just a drizzle for a lighter layer.
🌈 Layer like a pro: Pour the pink milk into the glass first, then gently add the rest of the coconut milk. Finally, slowly spoon in the cooled butterfly pea tea for a magical layered look.
🌈 Choose fun boba: Enid is all about colour, so pastel tapioca pearls or rainbow popping boba make this drink extra playful.
🌈 Finish with sparkle: Whipped cream topped with pink or rainbow sprinkles keeps the drink festive, fun, and totally Enid-approved for a Halloween tea party.
