BOBA (Black Tapioca Pearls):

- Mix together and allow to cool.
MAKING TEA:

Notes
NOTES: If you are making brown sugar milk tea, here's a few alternate steps you can take for the recipe.
- Once the boba has cooked through and the water has been drained.
- Directly add 1-2 tbsp of brown sugar to the pot.
- Allow the sugar to melt and coat the boba.
- Mix together and set aside to add to the tea.
