How To Make Bubble Tea With Real Tea
- 1.5 cups Water
- 4 teaspoons Black Tea or Tea of Choice
- 3/5 cup Creamer
- 1/5 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Ice
- 1. Boil 350mL of water. Once boiled to 90-100 C (194-212 F), stir in Black Tea and boil for 12 minutes.
- 2. Remove from heat and cover the pot with lid. Let the tea sit for 12 more minutes to properly infuse tea flavor.
- 3. After 12 minutes, the tea should have cooled to 50-60 C (122-140 F). Tip: Make sure the tea does not cool to below 50 C (122 F) for best results.
- 4. Filter the tea into a cup with a tea cloth to remove tea leaves. Discard tea leaves.
- 5. Add in creamer and sugar. Use a whisk (or spoon) and stir well. If you are having trouble dissolving cream and sugar, it may be because the tea has cooled too much.
- 6. Add Ice and mixture into a shaker. Shake mixture to cool down. Remove or add more ice depending on amount preference.
- 7. Add Tapioca and enjoy! (optional)
