Instructions

Boil the tapioca pearls

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir to prevent them from sticking together. Boil the tapioca pearls for about 20-30 minutes, or until they become soft and chewy. The exact cooking time may vary, so taste test them to ensure they're the right consistency.

Mix the pearls

Once the pearls are cooked, drain them and rinse them with cold water to cool them down. In a separate bowl, mix the cooked tapioca pearls with the brown sugar or honey to sweeten them. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the sweetness.

Brew the tea

Brew the black tea by steeping the tea bag(s) or tea leaves in 1 cup of hot water for 3-5 minutes. Add sugar to the hot tea and stir to dissolve it. Let the tea cool to room temperature.

Add milk

Fill a glass with ice cubes, if desired. Pour the sweetened black tea into the glass. Add the milk of your choice, leaving a little space at the top of the glass.

Add sago pearls

Carefully add the sweetened tapioca pearls to the glass. Insert a wide straw into the glass, making sure it's large enough to allow the boba pearls to pass through.

Serve hot

Gently stir and mix the drink with the straw to enjoy your homemade boba or bubble tea.
