Equipment

Ingredients

2 cup hot water 175°F or 79°C
2 tablespoon Jasmine green tea or 2 tea bags
½ cup milk of choice
3-4 tablespoons simple syrup to taste

Boba Pearls

½ cup boba pearls
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup hot boiling water

Instructions

Brew the Jasmine green tea. Steep the Jasmine green tea in the hot 175°F or 79°C water for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until cooled.
Prepare the boba. Prepare your boba based on your boba packaging. If using non-instant boba, simmer the boba for 25 min. covered. Then, remove from heat and let the boba sit in the saucepan covered for another 25 min and then drain.
Steep the boba. In a heat proof bowl, mix 1/2 cup hot water, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar and carefully steep in boiled boba for 30 min.
Assemble. In a tall glass, add the boba pearls and ice. Pour in 1 cup of jasmine green tea and 1-2 tablespoons of simple syrup and stir. Then pour in the milk, stir and enjoy! You can adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup for a sweeter drink.

Notes

Use cold ingredients. Nobody loves a lukewarm drink that is meant to be refreshing. Make sure to have all the ingredients chilled in the refrigerator before making this recipe.
Steep the jasmine tea in 175°F or 79°C water. This is the optimal temperature for jasmine tea which brings out its flavors without burning the tea leaves creating overly bitter results.
This recipe makes 2 cups. You can double or triple the recipe if you want to make this for larger groups of people.
You can change the sugar level. When it comes to drinks, I always err on the side of something that is not too dense and overly sweet. However, the sugar level is entirely up to you and you can alter the amount based on your sugar preference!
Add your favoring toppings. You can add in homemade boba pearls, grass jelly, pudding, lychee jelly, etc. to make this recipe a full treat!
