Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons or bags Black tea leaves or tea bags
- 240 milliliters Water
- 50 grams Quick-cooking tapioca pearls
- 120 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey or low-calorie sweetener
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Bring 240ml of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the black tea leaves or tea bags and allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preference for tea strength.
While the tea is steeping, prepare the tapioca pearls. Bring a separate small saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Add the tapioca pearls and cook them according to the package instructions, which usually takes about 5 minutes for quick-cooking varieties.
Once cooked, drain the tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside.
Remove the tea leaves or bags from the hot tea once it reaches your desired strength. Stir in the low-fat milk and honey or low-calorie sweetener until fully incorporated. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Add the cooked tapioca pearls into a tall glass. Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour the milk tea mixture over the ice and pearls.
Stir the boba milk tea gently to mix the pearls throughout, and serve with a wide straw to enjoy the pearls with each sip.
