Brown sugar boba - Brown sugar milk tea
Description
To make Brown Sugar Boba, tapioca pearls are cooked in a large volume of boiling water until tender according to package instructions, then rinsed to remove excess starch. The pearls are simmered with brown sugar on low heat until the mixture thickens into a syrup that coats the boba evenly, giving a deep caramel flavor and sticky texture.
A strong black tea is brewed using one or two tea bags steeped in hot water for about five minutes and then cooled. To assemble the milk tea, brewed tea is combined with brown sugar-coated tapioca pearls and milk, poured over ice cubes to chill. The result is a drink balancing creaminess from the milk, sweetness from the brown sugar syrup, robustness from the black tea, and the chewy bite of the tapioca pearls.
This recipe produces a 500 ml serving typically, with calorie information estimated accordingly. The preparation of boba pearls varies according to brand, so following package instructions closely is advised for ideal texture.
