Ingredients

  • 2 bags jasmine tea
  • 1 cup hot water
  • ⅓ cup tapioca pearls
  • ¼ cup brown sugar syrup
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a heat-proof glass, steep the jasmine tea in hot water for 2 to 3 minutes. You can steep it longer if you’d like a stronger tea flavor.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions (usually placing them in hot water for a few minutes) and then add the tapioca pearls and brown sugar syrup (or brown sugar and water) in a small saucepan and simmer it for 3 to 5 minutes. This will infuse the brown sugar flavor into the tapioca pearls.
  3. In a cup, add half the brown sugar syrup and tapioca.
  4. Add ice and half jasmine tea to the tapioca.
  5. Add the half milk to the tea.
  6. Stir to combine and repeat for a second drink. Enjoy immediately.
