Ingredients

  • 1 cup brewed black tea, cooled to room temperature
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ cup cooked tapioca boba pearls (from a package or can)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the brown sugar into a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon of hot water, then stir until the sugar dissolves completely and looks like a smooth, glossy syrup.

  2. 2

    Place the cooked boba pearls in the bottom of a tall glass, then pour the brown sugar syrup over the boba and stir gently a few times to coat the pearls evenly.

  3. 3

    Add the ice cubes to the glass on top of the coated boba, filling the glass about halfway.

  4. 4

    Pour the cooled black tea into the glass until it is three-quarters full, filling the space around the ice.

  5. 5

    Pour the milk slowly into the glass to finish filling it, stirring gently with a long spoon or straw a few times so the flavors blend slightly.

  6. 6

    Insert a bubble tea straw (or regular straw) into the glass and serve immediately while the ice is still cold.

Tools you’ll need

  • small bowl
