Preparation Steps
- 1
Cook the Tapioca Pearls
In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of tapioca pearls and stir gently. Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the pearls become translucent and chewy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Tea
While the tapioca pearls are cooking, steep 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags) in 2 cups of hot water for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea leaves or bags and stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar until dissolved.

Combine Ingredients
Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain them and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. In a serving glass, add the cooked tapioca pearls, then pour in the prepared tea and add 1 cup of milk (or non-dairy milk).
