Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 2 jasmine tea bags
  • 1 cup hot water

Sweetener

  • 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup

Milk & Tapioca

  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup quick-cook tapioca pearls

Extras

  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Brew the Tea: Steep the jasmine tea bags in 1 cup of hot water for 3 to 5 minutes to extract the delicate floral flavors. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool completely to room temperature.
  2. Cook Tapioca Pearls: Prepare the quick-cook tapioca pearls according to the package instructions, typically boiling them until they become soft and chewy. Once cooked, drain the pearls and set them aside.
  3. Sweeten the Tea: Stir 2 tablespoons of honey or simple syrup into the cooled jasmine tea until fully dissolved, ensuring a balanced sweetness throughout the drink.
  4. Combine with Milk: Add ½ cup of your preferred milk into the sweetened jasmine tea. Mix well to create a smooth and creamy jasmine milk tea base.
  5. Assemble the Drink: Divide the cooked tapioca pearls evenly between two glasses. Fill each glass with ice cubes to chill the drink perfectly.
  6. Serve: Pour the jasmine milk tea over the ice and pearls in each glass. Stir gently to combine, and serve immediately with boba straws for the full bubble tea experience.

Notes

  • Use quick-cook tapioca pearls for faster preparation, but traditional pearls will deepen the flavor if time allows.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or simple syrup according to your taste preference.
  • Milk alternatives like almond, soy, or oat milk work well and cater to dairy-free diets.
  • Chill the jasmine tea thoroughly before mixing to prevent the milk from curdling.
  • Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the tapioca pearls at their best chewy texture.
