How to Make Tea:

Hot Water Method

  1. Bring water to a boil.
  2. Pour water over the tea.
  3. Steep tea covered for 5 minutes.
  4. Strain out tea leaves.

Cold Brewing Tea

  2. Pour over water.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 4-12 hours.
  4. Strain out tea.

How to Make Boba:

  1. Bring a large pot filled with water to a boil.
  2. Add in boba and give a gentle stir.
  3. Wait for the boba balls to rise to the top and then set your timer for 10-15 minutes. 
  4. Once the boba is finished cooking, strain them out of the pot and add them directly to your serving cup or to a bowl, and top with simple syrup.

Recipe Notes

  • Use your own balance of milk and sugar to tea.
  • Make boba only right before serving.
  • Try different flavors and teas.
  • Try cold-brewing your tea.
