1
Prepare the Tea
Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Add the black tea leaves and let steep for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and stir in sugar while the tea is still warm. Allow to cool.
2
Cook the Tapioca Pearls
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls. Cook according to package instructions, usually for about 30 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.
3
Blend the Smoothie
In a blender, combine the cooled tea, milk, fruit puree, and honey or agave syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4
Assemble the Boba Drink
In a glass, add a generous amount of cooked tapioca pearls. Pour the blended smoothie mixture over the pearls. Add ice cubes as desired.
5
Serve
Stir the drink well before enjoying. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit or a sprig of mint.
