Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Black tea leaves
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Tapioca pearls
- 1 cup Low sodium almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (optional)

Instructions
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Add the black tea leaves to the boiling water, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes.

In a separate pot, bring 5 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water, stirring occasionally, and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the pearls are tender.
Once cooked, drain the tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
If desired, coat the cooked tapioca pearls with brown sugar for additional sweetness.
In two tall glasses, add an equal amount of cooked tapioca pearls.
Pour 1/2 cup of the cooled tea into each glass over the pearls.
Divide and add 1/2 cup of low sodium almond milk to each glass.
Fill the rest of the glasses with ice cubes.
Stir the drinks gently to mix the ingredients. Serve immediately with wide bubble tea straws.
