Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons or bags Black tea leaves or tea bags
- 240 milliliters Water
- 50 grams Quick-cooking tapioca pearls
- 120 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey or low-calorie sweetener
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Bring 240ml of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the black tea leaves or tea bags and allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preference for tea strength.
Step 2
While the tea is steeping, prepare the tapioca pearls. Bring a separate small saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Add the tapioca pearls and cook them according to the package instructions, which usually takes about 5 minutes for quick-cooking varieties.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain the tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside.
Step 4
Remove the tea leaves or bags from the hot tea once it reaches your desired strength. Stir in the low-fat milk and honey or low-calorie sweetener until fully incorporated. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Step 5
Add the cooked tapioca pearls into a tall glass. Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour the milk tea mixture over the ice and pearls.
Step 6
Stir the boba milk tea gently to mix the pearls throughout, and serve with a wide straw to enjoy the pearls with each sip.
