INGREDIENTS:
TEA:
- 3 Cups of Milk
- 2 Tea bags – your choice of tea – we used black tea
- 1 – 2 Tablespoons of the Brown Sugar Syrup
BOBA OR TAPIOCA PEARLS:
- 1/2 cup of Boba pearls
- 1/2 cup of dark Brown Sugar, or Muscovado Sugar
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of Boiling Water
BROWN SUGAR SYRUP:
- 1 cup of Brown Sugar
- 1 cup of Water
INSTRUCTIONS:
FOR THE TEA:
Using a small saucepan, heat the milk and brown sugar, over medium high heat, just to a simmer. Remove from the heat, and add the Black Tea Bags, and steep for 15 minutes. Pour into a large pitcher, and refrigerate until chilled.
FOR THE BOBA:
In a small saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil, and add the Boba Pearls, and stir until the Boba comes to the top. Turn the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Turn of the heat and let the Boba sit for half an hour, stirring now and then. Drain the Boba. In a small glass or stainless steel bowl, add 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of boiling water, and stir well to dissolve the sugars. Add the cooked Boba and let steep in the sugar mixture for 20 minutes. Drain the pearls, and cool.
FOR THE BROWN SUGAR SYRUP:
In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of brown sugar, and bring to a boil, then immediately turn the heat down so that the syrup simmers on low, stirring until the brown sugar has dissolved in the water. Leave the heat on low until the Syrup starts to thicken just a bit, but don’t let the Syrup get thick and caramelize.
You will need to stay with the pan until the syrup is done, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. The syrup should be about the consistency of honey, or a little thinner. If you reach this stage before the 15 minutes, remove the syrup from the heat, and let cool for a minute, then transfer to a small bowl or container, and let cool completely.
Place some of the Brown Sugar Syrup in a squeeze bottle, and squeeze it onto the sides of a tall glass, all around from top to bottom. Spoon the Boba Pearls into the bottom of the Glass, covering the bottom with the pearls. Using a shaker (cocktail shaker) add one cup of the Milk, and 1 to 2 Tablespoons of the brown sugar syrup, and shake well until combined and frothy. Pour the Milk into the glass, and add a Milkshake or Bubble tea straw, serve, and Enjoy!
