  • Customizable sweetness level
  • Fun weekend or cozy night activity
  • Creamy, comforting, and indulgent
  • Ready in about 30 minutes

🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • ½ cup dry tapioca pearls (boba)
  • 2 cups water (for cooking boba)
  • 2 black tea bags (or 2 tsp loose leaf tea)
  • 1 cup hot water (for tea)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2–3 tbsp brown sugar or honey (to taste)
  • Ice cubes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Boba

Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add tapioca pearls and stir gently. Cook according to package instructions (usually 5–7 minutes).
Drain and rinse lightly.

Step 2: Sweeten the Pearls

In a small bowl, mix warm boba with 1–2 tablespoons brown sugar. Let sit 5 minutes to absorb flavor.

Step 3: Brew the Tea

Steep black tea in hot water for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and let cool slightly.

Step 4: Assemble

Divide sweetened boba between two glasses. Add ice, pour tea over, then top with milk. Stir and enjoy with a wide straw.

⭐ Flavor Variations

  • Add vanilla extract for warmth
  • Use matcha instead of black tea
  • Make it extra cozy with chai tea
  • Add caramel drizzle for dessert-style boba

❄️ Tips for Best Texture

  • Serve immediately — boba hardens if left too long
  • Use fresh pearls for best chewiness
  • Adjust sweetness after mixing
