Ingredients
- tapioca pearls
- water
- brown sugar
- brewed tea
- milk
- sweetener
- ice cubes
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls. Cook according to the package instructions (usually around 20 minutes) until they're soft and chewy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

- Gently place the prepared tapioca pearls into the glass.
- Feel free to add flavored syrups (like fruit or caramel) for extra taste. Adjust sweetness according to your preference.

Notes
- Use a strong tea (like black or green tea) as the base for a traditional Boba Tea flavor.
- For a creamy texture, use milk or a milk substitute of your choice.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetener. Keep in mind that the tapioca pearls are already sweetened.
- Tapioca pearls are best when consumed within a few hours of cooking. If they become too hard, you can briefly microwave them with a bit of water to soften them.
