What you’ll need
Quick TipDo not refrigerate the cooked tapioca pearls as they get harder and lose their chewiness when cold. If you want to chill the tea in the refrigerator, remove the boba and store separately in a simple syrup. Making the teaMake the tea stronger as the addition of milk will dilute the flavor. However, do not over “pressure cook” as this will extract too much tannin, resulting in a bitter and astringent taste. For more tea flavor, you can increase the amount of tea bags per cup of water or use a more full-bodied black tea such as Assam, Yunnan, Ceylon, or English Breakfast. How to serve
