Step by Step Instructions 📝

1. Prepare the Tapioca Pearls: In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and boil for 5-7 minutes until soft and chewy. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar for extra flavor. Let soak.

3. Mix Tea and Milk: Add the remaining brown sugar to the brewed tea and stir until dissolved. Pour in the milk (and condensed milk if you prefer a sweeter flavor) and mix well.

4. Assemble the Drink: Add ice cubes and the soaked tapioca pearls to your serving glasses. Pour the tea mixture over the pearls, and stir.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Use a thick straw, and enjoy your homemade bubble milk tea right away!

For a twist, try matcha instead of black tea.
