Instructions

In a large mug, prepare the tea by adding tea leaves (or bags) to hot water. Set aside to cool.
3 teaspoon jasmine (or black/green/oolong) tea, 1 cup boiled water
In the meantime, add tapioca pearls to a pot (saucepan) full of boiling water.
½ cup quick-cooking tapioca pearls
Let it simmer on medium heat for a few minutes (it might need a few minutes less or more depending on the brand you're using*).
Reserve about 3 tablespoons of water & drain the rest.
Add sugar straight to the pot & mix well. This will prevent the pearls from sticking together.
2 tablespoon light brown sugar
Add taro powder, milk & vanilla to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
4 tablespoon taro root powder, 1 cup oat milk, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fill the glasses with ice cubes, then add boba pearls, tea & taro milk mixture. Enjoy!
ice cubes
Serve it immediately. It doesn't taste good if you let it stand at room temperature for too long.

Notes

Important: Always taste before serving. Adjust the sweetness to your own personal taste. Everyone enjoys their boba differently!

Use extra sugar or liquid sweeteners if you prefer a sweeter taste.
Every taro powder is slightly different so keep in mind your final drink might not look exactly the same as mine! For example, it could be lighter, darker, etc.
Undercooked or overcooked pearls can ruin the texture of this drink. Follow the instructions on the package carefully and adjust the cooking time if needed.
The drink might separate slightly. Don't worry, simply stir it again.
If your taro powder is unsweetened, you will need to add a few extra teaspoons of sugar (to taste).

To store - Place milk tea (with no pearls and no ice) in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Add fresh pearls and ice when you're ready to serve it.
