I am so excited to share how I make bubble tea at home! This trendy drink is surprisingly easy to recreate and customize in your own kitchen with low cost ingredients. Keep reading to see how it's done! Ingredients: Water 2 bags of black tea 1 cup of dry boba pearls 1/4 cup brown sugar or more to taste 1/4 cup milk Ice, optional Directions: 1. Boil 1 and 3/4 cups of water in any method you prefer. I like to heat it in a glass measuring cup in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. 2. Add your tea bags to the water to brew your tea. Once the tea cools to room temperature, you can add a small amount of ice and place it in the fridge or freezer. A note on tea flavor: I prefer to use either earl grey or lady grey, but any black tea is fine. Green and fruit teas are also very popular choices, but do not often have as strong of a flavor as black tea. 3. Once your tea is almost completely chilled, begin preparing the boba pearls. These can be purchased online or at east Asian grocery stores.
