- 60g black tapioca pearls
- 150ml strong brewed black tea (e.g. Assam), cooled
- 15–30ml fructose (to taste)
- 100ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Ice
Method
- Cook the tapioca pearls in boiling water following the pack instructions, then rest and drain.
- Brew a strong black tea and let it cool.
- Stir fructose into the tea to taste.
- Add the pearls and ice to the cup, then pour in the tea.
- Top with milk and stir.
- Serve with a wide boba straw.
Pro tips for cafés
