How do you make simple syrup?

To make your own simple syrup, heat equal portions of granulated sugar and water on a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and continue to heat for about 5 minutes, until the sugar has fully dissolved.

Does black tea or green tea taste better in bubble tea?

Both will work, but I’d recommend black tea for this Oreo bubble tea. Black tea gives a stronger, more neutral flavor whereas green tea is more bittersweet with a hint of floral.

Does Oreo milk tea have caffeine?

Since tea has caffeine, this bubble tea also has caffeine. The amount of caffeine will depend on the type of tea you use and how strongly you brew the tea.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Remove the cream center from the Oreos, keeping just the Oreo cookie.
Put the Oreo cookies in the milk and let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes to soften.
Add in the chilled tea. Stir the mixture well, until all the Oreo crumbs have dissolved.
Meanwhile, cook the boba in a small saucepan on the stovetop, following the package instructions.
When the boba are done cooking, strain them, and run them under cold water for a minute to cool them.
Then, immediately add them to the simple syrup and stir to coat so they don’t stick together.
Add the boba and Oreo milk tea to a bubble tea cup filled with ice. Use a boba straw to sip up the bobas. Enjoy!

Notes

Use quick cooking boba. If you can find them, use quick cooking black tapioca pearls to save you time.
Brew strong tea. When making bubble tea, always brew strong tea. This ensures the tea flavor comes through without watering down the drink. Don’t worry, it won’t overpower the Oreo flavor!
Adjust the milk to tea ratio. This recipe uses less tea than milk to prevent overpowering the Oreo flavor. However you can add more or less tea depending on your preference.
