1
Brew tea
Bring the water to a boil. Add the black tea bags and steep for 3-5 minutes, then remove the bags.
2
Sweeten tea
While the tea is warm, stir in the sugar until completely dissolved.

3
Prepare taro slurry
In a small bowl, whisk taro powder with 1 tablespoon of hot water to form a smooth paste. Stir in vanilla extract (if using).

4
Combine taro with tea and milk
Pour the taro slurry into the warm tea and whisk until smooth. Add the milk and mix until fully integrated.
5
Add ice and adjust
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the taro-tea-milk mixture over the ice and stir. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

6
Prepare boba (optional)
If using tapioca pearls, simmer in water per package instructions until chewy, then drain. Toss with a little sugar syrup if desired.
7
Assemble with toppings (optional)
Divide prepared pearls into glasses before pouring the taro tea for added texture.
