Begin by boiling 240 ml of water and steep the black tea teabag in it for 3-5 minutes to ensure a strong brew.
In a separate small saucepan, if using tapioca pearls, cook them according to package instructions and set aside.
In a mixing cup, combine the taro powder and sugar. Pour in the freshly steeped tea while still hot, and stir thoroughly until the powder and sugar are fully dissolved.
Add the milk to the tea and mix well until the liquid reaches a creamy consistency.
Take a serving glass and fill it with ice cubes. Pour the taro milk tea over the ice.
If you prepared tapioca pearls, add them into the glass before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing taro milk tea.
