BROWN SUGAR SYRUP FOR BOBA RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tapioca pearls, and reduce the heat to medium. Boil for about 25-30 minutes (as per package instructions), stirring often. Remove from heat and set aside for 10 minutes. Wash and drain in a colander.
• Add 2/3 cup of hot water over the tea bags. Steep for about 6 minutes.
• In a medium pot, add brown sugar and steeped tea. When the mixture starts boiling, add cooked tapioca pearls and boil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the syrup is thickened.
• In a serving cup, add the boba with syrup (adjust sweetness based on preference) and coat the cup by swirling it around. Add a handful of ice and milk to serve. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tapioca pearls and stir gently until they begin floating to the top of the water. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until softened and dark, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat and add tea leaves. Let steep for 15 minutes. Strain out tea leaves and refrigerate the tea.
• Drain pearls. Bring 1/4 cup of water to a boil in the empty saucepan. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved. Immerse the pearls in the syrup and let sit until room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Divide the pearls and desired amount of syrup between 2 tall glasses. Pour in tea. Add ice, milk, and sweetened condensed milk to both glasses. Stir before drinking.
