Total Time:25 minutes
Yield:2 drinks
Ingredients
1/2 cup black tapioca pearls
4 cups water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon honey
2 cups cold milk
1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions and drain well.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, and honey.
Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly.
Add the cooked tapioca pearls to the syrup and stir until fully coated.
Simmer the pearls in the syrup for 2 to 3 minutes to absorb the flavor.
Spoon the brown sugar boba into serving glasses.
Swirl some syrup around the inside of the glasses to create caramel-like streaks.
Add ice cubes and pour the cold milk over the top.
Serve immediately with a wide straw.
Notes
Use oat milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
Add a shot of espresso for a coffee-flavored twist.
Coconut milk adds a rich tropical flavor.
Top with whipped cream for a dessert-style presentation.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth and spice.
The brown sugar syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Cooked tapioca pearls are best enjoyed fresh for the ideal chewy texture.
