DIY : bubble tea

ingredients:
- 1/4 cup dried boba tapioca pearls per serving (NOT quick-cooking boba)
- 1-2 tea bags per serving, any kind
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- milk, almond milk, or sweetened condensed milk
—
equipment needed:
- a saucepan
- bowl for holding the cooked boba
- measuring cups
—
directions:
1. cook the boba: measure 2 cups of water for every 1/4 cup of boba being prepared into a saucepan. bring the water to a boil over high heat. add the boba and stir gently until they begin floating to the top of the water. turn the heat to medium and cook the boba for 12-15 minutes. remove the pan from heat, cover, and let the pearls sit for another 12-15 minutes.
2. sugar syrup: Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil over high heat on the stove. remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sugar until dissolved. let cool.
3. strong cup of tea: allow enough time for the tea to cool completely before making the boba. bring 1 cup of water to a boil. remove from heat and add the tea bag. use one tea bag for regular-strength bubble tea or two for a stronger tea flavor. remove the tea bag after 15 minutes and chill the tea.
4. finish the boba: once the boba have finished cooking, drain them from the water and transfer them to a small bowl or container. pour the sugar syrup over top until the boba are submerged.
5. make the bubble tea: pour the prepared tea into a tall glass and add the boba. add milk for a creamy bubble tea, juice for a fruity tea, or leave plain and add a little extra water. sweeten to taste with the simple syrup from soaking the boba.
