Ingredients

  • 52USA Boba Tapioca Pearls
  • Water 2 cups (for cooking the boba)
  • Black Tea 1 cup (Assam, Ceylon, or Jasmine for a floral twist)
  • Brown Sugar, 2 tablespoons (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Milk, 1/2 cup (whole milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option)

Instructions

 


1. Cook the Boba Pearls

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan.

2. Brew the Tea

  • While the boba cooks, brew 1 cup of black tea and let it steep for about 5 minutes for a deep, rich flavor.
  • For a sweeter milk tea, dissolve 2 tablespoons of brown sugar into the hot tea. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.


3. Assemble Your Milk Tea

  • In a tall glass, add the black sugar boba pearls.
  • Fill the glass halfway with **ice cubes** to keep your drink refreshingly cold.
  • Pour in the cooled tea, leaving some space at the top.
  • Finish with 1/2 cup of milk and stir gently, enjoying the swirls of milk blending into the tea.


4. Serve and Savor

  • Pop in a wide straw, give it a quick stir, and enjoy your freshly made black sugar boba milk tea!



Tips for the Perfect Homemade Milk Tea


Adjust the Sweetness: Customize to your taste! Add more or less brown sugar as desired.
Milk Options: Whole milk offers a rich, creamy texture, but oat, almond, or coconut milk work well for a dairy-free alternative.
Experiment with Tea Flavors: While black tea is classic, feel free to try green tea or earl grey for a unique twist.
