Ingredients

Tea
  • 2 c water
  • 2 tbsp black tea leaves
  • 1 tsp almond extract
Assembly for each 4 oz serving
  • 1 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tbsp dark brown sugar for tea
Boba (optional)
  • ½ c pre-made or homemade boba optional
  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar for boba, optional

Instructions

Tea
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat, add four cups of water and bring to a boil.
  2. Wrap your tea leaves in cheesecloth or put them in a reusable tea infuser (if you don’t have either, you can put the tea leaves straight in the pot, but you will have to strain them later on). Place the tea in the boiling water and continue to boil for three minutes.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat and steep for 15 minutes, uncovered.
  4. Remove the tea leaves from the pot and reheat the tea for another one to two minutes or until it’s hot to the touch.
  5. Add the almond extract and stir.
Assembly
  1. Prepare your boba based on your boba packaging, you can use my post on how to cook boba too. Place your cooked boba in a bowl and stir in dark brown sugar thoroughly.
  2. Pour about four ounces of tea in each teacup or mug.
  3. Add the pre-made boba in each cup if desired.
  4. In each cup, add the milk and sugar and stir until dissolved. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Serve with teaspoons if you are adding boba because it’s safer to use with hot liquids than straws. The longer the boba stays in warmer liquids, the chewier the texture will get, so I would recommend eating it first.
