Bubble Milk Tea (Boba)

Submitted by sarahjmiller

"This is a drink I fell in love with early on in life. It's sweetened milk tea with boba which are tapioca balls. Found this one online, I don't remember where but it is very good. Very similar to how you would buy it in a tea shop. This can be made with or without boba and is very good both ways."

ingredients

FOR TEA
³⁄₄ cup brewed tea (I use black but you can use chai or green tea too)
1 cup ice cube
2 tablespoons sugar syrup
¹⁄₂ cup milk
¹⁄₄ cup tapioca (optional)
FOR SUGAR SYRUP
¹⁄₂ cup granulated sugar
¹⁄₂ cup brown sugar
1 cup water

directions

Make the sugar syrup by combining granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stirring often.
Once mixture begins to simmer remove from heat. Cool and refrigerate until ready to use. Will keep for up to a month in a tightly sealed container.
Once syrup is chilled, combined tea, syrup, milk, and ice in a shaker or blender. I prefer a shaker but if you like blended drinks use a blender.
Shake until completely mixed.
Add tapioca pearls to a tall glass and pour in milk tea.
Use a large straw and enjoy!
