1. Make The Boba: Pour two cups of water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add tapioca pearls into the saucepan and boil for five minutes (until the pearls start floating to the top).
2. Make The Tea: Heat water in a teapot to 175°F or 79°C. Add loose-leaf tea to a tea infuser and place it in a mug. Pour heated water over the tea and let steep for 4 minutes. Remove the tea. Pour in the maple syrup and stir thoroughly.
