Recipe from Brewedleaflove.com

3 teaspoons loose black tea or 2 Earl Grey tea bags

1 cup boiling water

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup hot water

1/4 cup uncooked WuFuYuan black tapioca pearls

3 tablespoons half-and-half

Extra honey or simple syrup if you like a sweet tea

Instructions

Make the Tea

Add loose tea to a teapot with a strainer, or add teabag to a mug.

Pour boiling water over tea and steep for 4-5 minutes if using loose tea, or 2 minutes for teabags.

Strain loose tea or remove tea bags after steeping. Set aside to cool.

Make the Syrup for the Tapioca Pearls

Combine 1/4 cup hot water with 1/4 cup brown sugar. Stir until dissolved. Set aside.

Make Tapioca Pearls

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add tapioca pearls, cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Drain, plunge into cold water for a few seconds and drain again.

Add to the prepared brown sugar syrup and let sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavor.

Assemble Your Bubble Tea

Find a cup that holds at least 16 ounces.

In the bottom of the cup, add the tapioca pearls in the brown sugar syrup.

Add ice and pour in the cooled tea.

Top with the half-and-half.

Stir and enjoy!

Tip:

To speed things up, make the tea ahead and refrigerate. The tapioca pearls don't really keep well, so you'll need to cook them right before you make your bubble tea.
