Description
This brown sugar milk tea (also called brown sugar bubble tea), is easy to make with just a few ingredients at home. Not only does this bubble tea taste delicious with its caramelized brown sugar coated chewy boba, it looks amazing!
Ingredients
Scale
- Brown Sugar Syrup:
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup water
- Brown Sugar Milk Tea:
- ¼ cup quick cooking black tapioca pearls
- ¼ cup brown sugar syrup
- 1 cup milk
- Handful of ice
Instructions
Brown Sugar Syrup:
- Heat the brown sugar and water together in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Continue to heat, stirring occasionally until the brown sugar has completely dissolved.
- Bring the syrup to a boil and boil for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens slightly. The syrup should have a thick consistency (thicker than water), but not be overly sticky or gooey. It will thicken up significantly as it cools.
- Remove the syrup from the stove and let it cool for a few minutes.
Brown Sugar Milk Tea:
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add in the tapioca pearls and cook for the time indicated on the package. For quick cooking tapioca pearls, this will be about 5 minutes.
- Once cooked through and chewy, strain out the boba pearls and immediately add them to the brown sugar syrup, stirring to make sure they are fully coated in the syrup.
- Add the boba pearls and brown sugar syrup to a glass, making sure to drip the syrup down the side of the glass. Add in the ice and milk. Stir well to combine before drinking.
Notes
- Brown sugar milk tea actually doesn't contain tea! However, if you want, you can add in ½ cup of concentrated black tea.
- Use a bubble tea tumbler and bubble tea straws to drink this boba tea.
