Experience the deep flavor of homemade Assam Milk Tea, a refreshing bubble tea made with Assam tea, creamy milk, and chewy tapioca pearls. This simple-to-follow recipe delivers the perfect balance of malty tea taste and creamy sweetness!
Ingredients
Boba Pearls
- ¾ cup quick cook tapioca pearls (100 grams)
- 3 cups water (700 grams)
- ¼ cup brown sugar syrup
Milk tea base
- 2 teaspoons Assam tea, loose leaf (or 2 teabags)
- 1 cup water, filtered (225 grams)
- 2 cups milk, cold
- 2-3 tablespoons cream, optional
Instructions
- Firstly, prepare the tapioca pearls by following the instructions on the packaging. Cook until they become soft and chewy, then drain and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, prepare brown sugar syrup or add store-bought syrup. Heat up the syrup until bubbling.
- Place Assam tea leaves in a teapot or a heat-resistant jug. Pour hot water over the leaves and let them steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. After steeping, strain the tea to remove the leaves and let it cool down to room temperature.
- Add the brown sugar boba pearls into each serving glass, distributing them evenly.
- Pour the cooled Assam tea into each glass, filling it about halfway. If you prefer a cold drink, you can add ice cubes at this stag.
- Top each glass with milk, filling it to the brim. Give it a quick stir to mix the flavors and serve immediately.
