Steps:
- Combine the brown and white sugars in a heatproof bowl. Whisk in the hot water until dissolved. Let cool, then pour into a clean, resealable container and refrigerate up to 1 month.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the boba and cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently during the first 10 minutes of cooking to prevent the boba from sitting at the bottom of the pot and burning. Cover the pot so the water doesn't evaporate, and stir occasionally for the remainder of the time. Add more hot water if necessary to keep the boba covered.
- After the 30 minutes of cooking, take the pot off the heat and let the boba rest for another 30 minutes.
- After the resting time, strain the boba in a colander or a strainer, discarding the water, and pour them into a mixing bowl. Stir in ½ cup Sweetening Syrup. After an additional 30 minutes (so 1½ hours total from the time you started cooking), the boba should have absorbed the sweetness; it won't get any sweeter if it continues to sit longer.
- Now your boba is ready to serve; hold it warm or at room temperature (our preference). When you add it to drinks, scoop some of the balls out with a little strainer to leave the syrup behind. The boba keeps for about 4 hours before it starts to lose its texture.
- Combine the tea leaves in a mixing bowl; stir well to fully mix. Store in an airtight container.
- Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes. Heat filtered water to 190ºF. Steep 2 tablespoons of the tea leaf blend in 5 oz. of the hot water for 4 minutes. Strain the tea over the ice, and set the glass aside to allow the ice to fully melt.
- Fill a glass with the toppings, if using, and the ice, and then add the syrup. Pour the tea over the ice. Add the half-and-half. Stir until everything is mixed.
Tips:
- Use fresh peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches are not available, you can use frozen or canned peaches, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Use a variety of teas to create different flavors of Texas tea. Some popular choices include black tea, green tea, and herbal tea.
- Sweeten the tea to your liking. You can use sugar, honey, or another sweetener.
- Serve the tea hot or cold. Texas tea is refreshing either way.
- Garnish the tea with a slice of peach or a sprig of mint for a special touch.
Conclusion:
Texas tea is a refreshing and delicious drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a refreshing drink, give Texas tea a try. You won't be disappointed!
