Brew the Tea
In a pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a separate 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 are translucent and chewy.
