Ingredients  

Brown Sugar Boba Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • cup tapioca balls
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

Milk Tea Ingredients

  • ½ cup water, hot
  • 2 tablespoons black tea, loose-leaf
  • 1-1½ cup ice
  • ½ cup oat milk

Instructions 

  • Cook The Boba: Add two cups of water into a saucepan and bring it to a rolling boil. Then, add the quick cook boba and boil until all the pearls float to the top (about 4-5 minutes). Strain the boba, reserving 1/4 cup of liquid.
  • Make The Brown Sugar Boba Syrup: Return ¼ cup liquid to the saucepan along with the cooked boba and brown sugar. Next, cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes. (Let it simmer and boil, stirring every minute or so.) It will start to thicken, and a lot of sugary bubbles will start to form. Then, remove it from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes. Finally, using a rubber spatula, pour the brown sugar syrup boba into your serving glass. Set in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  • Make The Tea: Heat water in a teapot to 212°F/100°C. Add the loose-leaf black tea to a tea infuser and place it in a thin glass. Pour hot water over the tea and let steep for about 7-10 minutes. Remove the tea.
  • Assemble The Brown Sugar Boba Tea: Remove the brown sugar boba mixture from the fridge. Then, using a spoon, scrape the brown sugar syrup up the sides of the glass like tiger stripes. Next, add ice on top of the boba and pour the oat milk over the ice, followed by the tea. Finally, stir and enjoy with a reusable boba straw.
