Brown sugar boba tea

3 steps

Let’s make it

1. 1

   Brew the tea

   Brew the tea leaves in around 150ml boiled water. Strain and set aside to cool.

2. 2

   Cook the pearls

   Bring around 4 cups water to the boil. Add the tapioca pearls and cook according to their packet, usually 5–10 minutes. Add the ½ cup brown sugar and stir occasionally. When cooked, drain, reserving the brown-sugar liquid, then rinse the pearls in cold water.

3. 3

   Build the drink

   Spoon pearls and some reserved syrup into a glass. Add ice, cooled tea and oat milk. Taste and add the optional extra sugar if desired.
