1
Cook the Tapioca Pearls
In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir gently. Allow the pearls to cook for about 30 minutes or until they become soft and chewy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2
Prepare the Tea
In a separate pot, steep the black tea leaves or tea bags in 2 cups of hot water for about 5-7 minutes. Once brewed, remove the tea leaves/bags and add sugar to taste. Stir until dissolved.
3
Combine Ingredients
Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain them and rinse under cold water. In a large glass, add the cooked tapioca pearls, brewed tea, milk, and flavoring syrup. Mix well.
4
Serve
Add ice cubes to the glass and stir again. Enjoy your refreshing bubble tea with a wide straw to sip the pearls!
