Method

Prepare Tea Base

  1. 1

    Brew the Tea

    In a small saucepan, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for another 10 minutes. Strain the tea to remove the leaves and set aside to cool.

Cook Tapioca Pearls

  1. 2

    Boil the Tapioca Pearls

    In a large pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add 100 grams of tapioca pearls. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 20-30 minutes, until they become transparent. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

  2. 3

    Sweeten the Pearls

    Place the cooked tapioca pearls in a bowl and add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar syrup. Stir gently to combine and let sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the sweetness.

Assemble Bubble Tea

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large glass, add the cooked and sweetened tapioca pearls at the bottom. Pour the cooled black tea over the pearls, filling about half the glass.

  2. 5

    Add Milk and Flavor

    Add 200 ml of whole milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the glass. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 6

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to your liking. Stir again to mix the ice with the beverage.

Serve

  1. 7

    Enjoy!

    Serve the bubble tea with a wide straw for easy sipping. Enjoy your large size bubble tea upgrade!
