Homemade Brown Sugar Bubble Tea Recipe

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.
