How to Make Almond Milk Tea with Brown Sugar
Step 1
Step 2
Okay, let’s begin the cooking process.
For this recipe, we will be using an electric water kettle from Aigostar but you can also use a stove if you’d like too. If you’re using a water kettle, fill it up with water to a comfortable amount. And if you’re using a pot like this, go ahead and boil 3 to 4 cups of water.Â
Once your water boils, steep 2 tablespoons of your loose black tea leaves for about 3-5 minutes. Then set it aside to cool down to room temperature.Â
In another pot, we’ll add 4-5 cups of water and bring it to a boil to cook our boba pearls. For this recipe, we will be using store bought boba pearls like this and following the directions on the packaging. Boil your tapioca pearls until soft and chewy. You’ll know by eating one to test, kind of like testing the texture of pasta.
Step 3
As you’re waiting for everything to cook or boil, let’s grab a mini pot to make our house made brown sugar syrup.
To start, scoop 3-4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar into your mini pot. In addition, add 1-2 tablespoons of water into the mini pot. If you need measuring spoons, this is what we use to be accurate every time!
Over the stove, using low-medium heat, bring your mixture of brown sugar and water to a boil. Be sure to mix often, otherwise, your house made brown sugar syrup will stick to the bottom.
You don’t want it to stick as it’s extremely hard to clean. Seriously.
Once your brown sugar syrup comes to a boil, continue to boil and mix often for another 1-2 minutes. The consistency should be like runny honey (we hope that makes sense). Once you think you have the right consistency, you can set it aside. By now your tea and boba pearls should be ready to go too.Â
Step 4
All that’s left is to bring everything together into your favorite cup!
We’ll start with the boba pearls. Strain your boba pearls using a colander with a mesh netting like this. Mesh netting is perfect so that you don’t lose any precious and delicious boba pearls in the process. Then scoop 1/4 cup of the cooked boba pearls into your favorite cup.Â
Next, we’ll add the brown sugar syrup mixture you’ve quickly made! Spoon in 1 tablespoon of this into your cup too. Shortly after, you may add a 3/4 cup of your freshly steeped black tea made from premium loose leaf tea.Â
And finally! Grab your favorite almond milk or creamer and pour 1/4 cup of it into your favorite cup to top it all off. Now the best part of all, stick that boba straw in your cup and take a sip of your delicious almond milk tea.
