Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tea bag black tea e.g. Assam, earl grey, English breakfast, of choice
  • ¾ cup (200 ml) water to brew your tea
  • 2 ½ tablespoons tapioca pearls or more to your liking, aka boba
  • 2 ½ teaspoons brown sugar or more to taste, Okinawa type (kokuto
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk plant based milk can be used

Instructions

  1. Brew tea in hot boiling water to your liking.
  2. Cook tapioca pearls (boba) to packet instructions. If using quick cooking boba, bring a small pot of water to boil. Then add the boba and reduce the heat to a simmer. Place a lid on the pot and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
  3. Once boba is cooked, rinse in cold water and then mix through the sugar.
  4. Place boba in a drinking glass or mug, pour tea and then add the milk (see note 1). Mix until combined. Serve hot or cold.

Notes

  • If you are using a drinking glass, make sure your tea has cooled down before adding it to the glass. Otherwise you may crack the glass with the heat of the tea.
  • If you don’t have kokuto sugar, you can substitute dark muscovado sugar, regular brown sugar, or demerara sugar.
  • The stronger the tea is brewed, the nicer flavor it gives to the milk tea.
