Ingredients
- 1 cup Large black tapioca pearls
- 6 cups Water (for boiling tapioca pearls)
- 4 bags Black tea bags
- 2 cups Hot water (for tea)
- 2 cups Almond milk
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Bring 6 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water and stir gently to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Cook the pearls for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let them sit in the hot water for an additional 15 minutes.
Step 3
While the pearls are cooking, brew the black tea. Place 4 black tea bags in a heatproof container and pour 2 cups of hot water over them. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes before removing the tea bags.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of cooked tapioca pearls with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Combine the brewed tea and almond milk in a large mixing bowl or pitcher. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar until fully dissolved.
Step 6
Allow the tea mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.
Step 7
To assemble, divide the sweetened tapioca pearls evenly among four serving glasses. Fill each glass with ice cubes.
Step 8
Pour the chilled tea mixture over the ice and pearls, ensuring each glass has an even amount.
Step 9
Serve immediately with wide straws to enjoy the chewy tapioca pearls.
