Bubble Tea

2 cups room temperature water

Sugar Syrup:

½cup packed light brown sugar

½cup granulated sugar

1 cup water

Tea:

water

2bags black tea

(or two servings loose tea)

½cup half & half ice (optional)

1.Prepare the tapioca: Put the dried tapioca in a medium bowl and add the room temperature water. Cover and let sit overnight to soften. Once plumped, strain, discarding water and reserving the tapioca (tapioca should be gummy-like in texture and taste).

2.Prepare sugar syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugars and measured water and set over medium-low heat. Let mixture heat until all of the sugar has dissolved. Cool mixture to room temperature.

3.Prepare the tea: Put tea into a small bowl. Put at least 600ml of water into your kettle and select the Black setting. Pour 480ml of the hot water over tea and let steep 3 to 5 minutes. Strain and cool to room temperature.

4.For each serving, put ¼ cup each of the tapioca, sugar syrup and half & half into a tall glass. Add ½ of the tea and stir to combine. For a colder drink, add ice.

Serving note: Traditionally, Bubble Tea is served with a large straw so the tapioca can be enjoyed while sipping the tea.
