hai tea can be served hot or cold. It's a strong brew or tea, usually spiced with the likes of anise, cardamom, vanilla and cloves. It's sweetened with condensed milk or sugar and diluted with more milk for a super creamy and delicious finished product. Tapioca boba pearls add just enough extra sweetness and chew to this fun drink.
n a saucepan, bring the water, tea leaves, anise, cloves, and cardamom to a boil.
Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for an hour to steep.
Meanwhile, make a simple syrup by whisking together the water and brown sugar in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
In a large pot, cook the pearls according to package directions. For us, this took 5 minutes.
Strain the pearls, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, and transfer them to the syrup container.
Once the tea has steeped, place a sieve over a separate mason jar and strain the tea into the jar. Then add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
When assembling the drink, add some sweetened condensed milk to each cup. Then add the pearls, ice, milk, and tea concentrate.
Stir, adding more milk or sweetener to taste, and enjoy!
