Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 bags black tea
Brown Sugar Boba Pearl Syrup
- ½ cup tapioca pearls
- ¼ cup Muscovado sugar or dark brown sugar
- 40 ml water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat the milk along with the black tea. Careful not to have the temperature too high or you’ll burn your milk. Once the milk has started to simmer, turn off the heat and steep the black tea in the milk for 10 minutes. Feel free to chill the milk afterwards or enjoy it warm.
- Prepare your tapioca pearls according to the package.
- In a pot, combine the muscovado sugar with 40 ml of water and bring it to a boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer and add in the prepared tapioca pearls. Simmer until the brown sugar syrup has thickened. Simmering the cooked tapioca pearls in the syrup just adds more flavour to them.
- Remove from heat once it has thickened.
- Assemble your drink by adding half of the brown sugar syrup and tapioca to a glass. Add half of the steeped milk to the glass then stir to combine. Repeat with the second glass.
