Ingredients
  

Tea Base

  • 1 bag tea black, green, oolong, etc.
  • ½ cup quick-cooking tapioca pearls
  • 2 tablespoon sugar brown, white, granulated
  • 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk I used unsweetened oat milk

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 handful ice cubes for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tea

  • Prepare tea by adding 1 tea bag to 1 cup of boiled water.
  • Steep for 5 minutes & then let cool down completely.

Cook the Tapioca Pearls

  • Add tapioca pearls to a small saucepan filled with boiling hot water. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. Read the instructions on your tapioca pearls packaging.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of water and drain the rest.
  • Add sugar and the reserved water to the cooked boba pearls. Stir well and set aside.

Assemble the Drink

  • Fill two tall glasses with ice. Add boba pearls. Then add vanilla extract on top.
  • Add cold tea and cold milk on top. Stir well & enjoy!

Notes

If you don't mix it well, the vanilla will stay on the bottom. To serve hot, skip the ice cubes and add piping hot tea and milk. Adjust the consistency of boba pearls to your taste. Want to maximize the vanilla flavor? Add two kinds of vanilla.
