Add 1 tea bag (or 2 teaspoon of loose leaf tea) to 1 cup (235ml) of boiled water.
Steep for 2-3 minutes. Then let cool down completely.
Add black pearls to a pan full of boiling hot water and white pearls to another pan.
Let both pans simmer for approx. 5-6 minutes. Tip - Cooking time vary per brand. Follow the instructions given on your boba pearls packaging.
Reserve 3 tablespoon of boiling water from each pan. Then remove pearls from heat and strain separately.
Cover both types of pearls with the reserved water & sugar. Stir well & set aside.
To serve, add a third of the pearls to a large glass. Then fill the glass with ice cubes.
Add cold tea and milk.
Stir well & adjust to taste. Then top off with the remaining pearls as seen in the image.

Fill the entire glass with ice cubes otherwise boba pearls will sink to the bottom.
Always adjust boba to taste!
You can add more sugar, milk, or tea depending on your preference.
The same goes for boba pearls.
Cook them for longer if you prefer a softer texture.
If you prefer chewier pearls, cook them for less long.
