All you need are four ingredients to make this jasmine milk tea recipe. It's a classic item on any boba cafe's menu for a good reason. It's not just sweet and refreshing, but it's also floral and fragrant. You'll love this homemade version!
In a heat-proof glass, steep the jasmine tea in hot water for 2 to 3 minutes. You can steep it longer if you’d like a stronger tea flavor.
Meanwhile, prepare the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions (usually placing them in hot water for a few minutes) and then add the tapioca pearls and brown sugar syrup (or brown sugar and water) in a small saucepan and simmer it for 3 to 5 minutes. This will infuse the brown sugar flavor into the tapioca pearls.
In a cup, add half the brown sugar syrup and tapioca.
Add ice and half jasmine tea to the tapioca.
Add the half milk to the tea.
Stir to combine and repeat for a second drink. Enjoy immediately.
