Notes
Important: Taste before serving - adjust the sweetness to your own personal taste. Everyone enjoys their boba differently!
COOKING THE PEARLS - I provide general instructions on how to cook boba. However, every brand varies! Follow the instructions on your own boba package.
SEPARATED - It's normal for this drink to separate a little. If it does, simply use a straw to stir it.
HOT OR COLD - You can serve this boba hot or iced cold. Don't serve it lukewarm.
CRUCIAL Tip! This recipe isn't overly sweet. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can simply just add sugar either when making tea or at the end.
