1
Steep the Green Tea
Boil 500 ml of water and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of green tea leaves to the water and steep for 3-5 minutes. Strain the tea to remove the leaves.
2
Sweeten the Tea
Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey or your choice of sweetener to the warm tea. Mix well until fully dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature or refrigerate to chill.

3
Prepare the Pearls
In a pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add 100 grams of tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the pearls become translucent and chewy.
4
Rinse and Sweeten Pearls
Once cooked, remove from heat and drain the pearls. Rinse them under cold water to stop cooking. Optionally, you can mix the pearls with a little honey or sugar to add sweetness.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a large glass, add a scoop of cooked tapioca pearls at the bottom. Pour the chilled green tea over the pearls.
6
Add Milk and Ice
Add 100 ml of milk or milk alternative to the tea. Top with ice cubes as desired.
7
Serve
Stir well to combine all ingredients. Serve immediately with a wide straw for easy sipping.
