Method

  1. 1

    Steep black tea in hot water until it reaches your preferred strength.

  4. 4

    Sweeten the tea by drizzling honey or blue agave syrup to taste, stirring gently.

  5. 5

    Add vanilla almond milk and a couple of scoops of coconut cream to the same glass.

  6. 6

    Add cooked boba pearls to the drink.

  7. 7

    Stir the mixture gently to combine all flavors and enjoy.
