I absolutely love bubble tea. What I don't love is that I'm yet to find a place that consistently cranks out boba the way I like it - not too sweet.
Luckily, it's laughably easy to make. Also, I strongly suggest visiting the Asian market if you've never been. The candy and snack aisle is UNREAL.
Side-note: If you live in Northeast Ohio, please let me know where you've found boba that isn't just sugar-powder.
WHAT YOU NEED*:
*Serves two
1/2 cup boba
2 tea bags (I used Thai tea)
Water
Ice
Milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond)
Sugar to taste
HOW TO:
- Make your tea. Boil 2 cups of water on stovetop or microwave. Add teabags, allowing to steep for at least 15 minutes. Cool completely in fridge or freezer.
- Boil 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Gently add boba and cook until soft, following instructions on bag. (Mine took 5 minutes.)
- Turn off heat and gently transfer boba into a small bowl using a slotted spoon. Add a few teaspoons of sugar if desired. Allow boba to cool completely.
- Spoon half of boba into a tall glass. Fill glass halfway with tea, then add ice and milk to taste. Sweeten with sugar or honey if desired. Repeat with remaining boba and tea.
