Boba Ingredients

Oolong Milk Tea Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water, hot
  • 2 tablespoons loose-leaf oolong tea
  • 1 teaspoon raw sugar
  • 1/2 cup oat milk
  • 1 ½ cup ice

Instructions 

  • Make The Tapioca Pearls: Pour two cups of water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add tapioca pearls to the saucepan and boil for five minutes (until the pearls start floating to the top). (If you don’t have quick-cooking tapioca pearls, follow your package directions.) Scoop floating pearls into a metal mesh strainer and rinse with cool water.
  • Tea Instructions: Heat water in a teapot or electric tea kettle to 190°F or 88°C. Add loose-leaf tea to a tea infuser and place it in a thing glass. Pour hot water over the tea and let steep for 9 minutes. Remove the tea. Scoop in the cane sugar and stir thoroughly.
  • Assemble The Milk Tea: Scoop tapioca balls into a serving glass. Next, add ice on top of the boba. Then, pour oat milk over the boba, followed by the oolong tea sugar mixture. Stir and enjoy with a reusable boba tea straw.
