Matcha Peach Sago Drink

This Matcha Peach Sago Drink is a refreshing and creamy treat that’s perfect for hot days—or anytime you want something sweet and satisfying.

It’s got chewy sago pearls, juicy peaches, and a smooth matcha milk base.

If you’ve never had sago before, they’re tiny tapioca pearls that add a fun texture, kind of like boba but smaller.

This drink is great for kids and adults alike—plus, it looks beautiful in a glass!

Let’s make it!

What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

• ½ cup sago pearls
• 2 cups water (for cooking sago)
• 1 ripe peach, diced
• 2 tbsp honey (or sweetener of choice)
• ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 tsp matcha powder
• ¼ cup hot water (for matcha)
• ½ cup ice cubes

Tools:

• Small pot
• Strainer
• Blender or fork (for mashing peaches)
• Small bowl
• Whisk or matcha frother
• Tall glass

Pro Tips

✅ Rinse the sago pearls before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent them from getting too sticky.
✅ Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness—if they’re not sweet enough, add an extra drizzle of honey.
✅ Whisk matcha well to avoid clumps! A matcha frother or small whisk works best.
✅ Adjust the sweetness by tasting the drink before serving—honey, maple syrup, or even condensed milk work great.
✅ Serve immediately for the best texture! The sago pearls are best fresh.

Substitutions & Variations

• Swap honey for maple syrup, agave, or sugar.
• Use oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk instead of regular milk.
• Try frozen peaches if fresh ones aren’t available—just thaw them first!
• Want it extra creamy? Add a splash of heavy cream or condensed milk.

Make-Ahead Tips

• Cook the sago pearls ahead of time and store them in a little water in the fridge for up to a day.
• Blend the peach puree in advance and keep it in the fridge for easy assembly.
• Matcha is best fresh, but you can pre-mix and chill it for a smoother drink.

How to Make It

1. Cook the Sago Pearls

1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
2. Add sago pearls and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn translucent.
3. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Peach Puree

1. Mash the diced peach with a fork or blend it for a smoother texture.
2. Stir in 1 tbsp honey (or more if needed).

3. Make the Matcha Milk

1. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tsp matcha powder with ¼ cup hot water until smooth.
2. Add ½ cup milk and whisk again.

4. Assemble the Drink

1. Add the cooked sago pearls to a tall glass.
2. Pour in the peach puree and stir slightly.
3. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
4. Pour over the matcha milk mixture.
5. Stir gently, garnish with a peach slice, and enjoy!

Leftovers & Storage

• This drink is best fresh—sago pearls harden over time!
• If storing, keep the sago in water and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
• Keep matcha milk separate and stir again before serving.
