Classic Boba Milk Tea

For the pearls

• 1 serving Super PearlsSuperboba
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 tbsp warm water

For the tea

• 2 tsp Classic powderSuperboba
• 100 ml hot water, about 85 C
• 200 ml milk of choice
• Ice, to fill

1. 1

   Stir the brown sugar into the warm water until dissolved. That is your syrup.

2. 2

   Scoop a serving of Super Pearls into a bowl.

3. 3

   Pour the syrup down the side of the bowl until the pearls are submerged.

4. 4

   Soak 1 to 5 minutes. Do not boil them and do not simmer them. They are ready when they are soft and chewy.

5. 5

   Whisk the Classic powder into the hot water until smooth and foamy.

6. 6

   Tip the pearls and their syrup into a tall glass, add ice, then the milk, then the tea. Stir.

• Super Pearls are instant. Boiling or simmering them ruins the texture. A conventional tapioca pearl needs 30 minutes at a boil, 15 simmering and a 35-minute rest, which is the entire reason most people never make boba at home.
• They are unsweetened on purpose, so the syrup is where you control sweetness. Start with 2 tbsp of sugar and adjust.
• Soak them last. Pearls are best within an hour of soaking and go firm in the fridge.
