Ingredients
Scale
Syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups water
Tapioca Pearls
- 1 cup tapioca pearls
Milk Mixture
- 3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Brown Sugar Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown sugar with 2 cups of water. Place over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar completely dissolves, forming a rich and aromatic syrup.
- Cook Tapioca Pearls: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook 1 cup of tapioca pearls according to the package instructions, typically boiling for 20-30 minutes until the pearls are soft and chewy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Combine Pearls with Syrup: Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain and rinse them briefly under cold water. Add the cooked pearls directly into the warm brown sugar syrup, allowing them to soak up the flavorful sweetness.
- Mix in Milk and Vanilla: Pour 3 cups of milk into the syrup and pearl mixture, then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well to thoroughly combine all ingredients, creating a creamy, sweet base for your boba drink.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the brown sugar milk boba mixture over ice cubes in serving glasses. Stir before drinking and enjoy your refreshing, homemade boba tea.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture, or substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Cooking times for tapioca pearls may vary by brand; always follow package instructions closely.
- Serve brown sugar milk boba immediately over ice for best taste and texture.
- Leftover syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
