3 1/2 cup water
1/3 cup Thai tea mixture
1 scoop bubble tea sugar syrup
2 T sweetened condensed milk
2 fl. oz. tapioca Pearls

To make the tea:
Heat the water to boiling, then using four layers of cheesecloth as a filter, pour the water through the tea four times or until the tea reaches the right color.

To make the tapioca pearls:
Boil water in a large pot, adding in the tapioca pearls. The tapioca pearls should float in the water while boiling for about 25 minutes with the cover on. Turn the heat off and let the tapioca sit in the water for 25 minutes. Rinse the cooked tapioca pearls in warm water and drain.

To combine everything:
Mix together the Thai tea, bubble tea sugar syrup and sweetened condensed milk and shake until little bubbles form on the top of the drink. Add bubble tea tapioca pearls to a 16 oz. cup, and pour your drink over.

There are many variations to making a bubble tea (or boba tea as it is sometimes called). It can be iced or frozen. I prefer mine iced, and I absolutely love the original Thai flavorings, although you can get anything from strawberry to lychee fruit. Seeing this recipe, I have to admit it is much easier to buy your drink in China Town or at a mall kiosk. Tastes just as good!
