PREP: 12 MINS // YIELD: 1 DRINK
INGREDIENTS
| 1 oz of our Vanilla Rooibos syrup
| 1 bag of black tea
| ½ cup of quick-cooking tapioca pearls
| Milk of choice
| Crushed ice
| 1 bag of black tea
| ½ cup of quick-cooking tapioca pearls
| Milk of choice
| Crushed ice
DIRECTIONS
| Steep the tea in hot water for 10 min, then remove the tea bag and allow the brewed tea to come to room temp, or put it in the fridge.
| While the tea is steeping, cook the tapioca pearls in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent clumping. Once cooked, strain the pearls and transfer them to a bowl of ice-cold water for 2 minutes. To finish, remove the pearls from the water and set aside.
| In a tall glass, add a healthy scoop of the cooked boba (tapioca pearls), a scoop of ice, then fill the glass 3/4 of the way with brewed black tea.
| Add our Vanilla Rooibos syrup, top with your favorite milk option, then give it a stir with a wide straw. Enjoy!
