Easy Homemade Brown Sugar Bubble Tea Recipe

Ingredients

• 4.25 cups water, divided
• 0.25 cup white tapioca pearls (boba)
• 2 tablespoons black tea leaves
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, or to taste

Instructions

1. Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Add tapioca pearls, stirring gently until they float. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 25 minutes, until softened and dark. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes.
2. Boil another 2 cups of water. Remove from heat, add tea leaves, and steep for 15 minutes. Strain the tea leaves and refrigerate the brewed tea.
3. Drain the cooked tapioca pearls. In the same saucepan, boil 1/4 cup of water. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved, creating a syrup. Add the drained pearls to the syrup and let sit until room temperature, approximately 15 minutes.
4. Divide the brown sugar boba pearls and desired amount of syrup between two tall glasses.
5. Pour the chilled tea into both glasses. Add ice, your choice of milk, and sweetened condensed milk to each glass. Stir well before enjoying your homemade brown sugar bubble tea!
