- 1/2 cup sugar syrup (made with white or brown sugar)
- 4 cups water

- 4 cups milk
- ice
Instructions
- Boil the water and steep your tea for 5 minutes. Set it aside to cool to room temperature.
- Cook the boba pearls according to the package's directions.
- Drain the boba, rinse them with cold water, place them in a bowl, and toss them in sugar syrup. Let the boba sit in the syrup for a while (up to 4 hours, not refrigerated).
- To assemble, add 1/4 cup of tapioca pearls to each glass. Add 1 cup of tea, 1 cup of creamer, and ice. Enjoy!
Notes
As always, modify this recipe to your liking. Try sweetening the pearl milk tea with maple syrup, honey, or stevia. You can also use numerous dairy options, such as whole milk, half and half, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, heavy cream, or even a non-dairy creamer.
To make the simple syrup, combine equal parts water and sugar. For this recipe, combine 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
If you are making matcha bubble tea, wait until before serving and whisk or blend the matcha tea with the water.
