Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 cups water
1 (7-ounce) package pearl tapioca
10 black Chai tea bags
1 pint half-and-half
Spiced Simple Syrup, recipe follows
Ice
1 cup water
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
4 whole cloves

Steps:

  • In a large pot, add the water and the pearl tapioca. Bring to a boil, over medium heat, then cover and cook for 16 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow it to sit another 15 minutes, covered. Strain into a container and add 1/3 cup of the Spiced Simple Syrup. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the tea bags, let steep for 7 minutes and then remove. Allow the tea to cool.
  • When ready to serve, add 1/3 cup tapioca pearls, 1/3 cup half-and-half, and 1/4 cup spiced simple syrup to each glass. Fill the glasses with ice and top with the tea. Serve with a wide barrel straw to get the pearls.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain the mixture into a glass jar and discard the cloves and cinnamon. The syrup will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tea leaves: The quality of your tea leaves will greatly impact the flavor of your pearl tea. Choose a type of tea that you enjoy the flavor of and make sure that the leaves are fresh.
  • Use the right amount of sugar: The amount of sugar you add to your pearl tea will depend on your personal preference. However, a good starting point is to use 1/4 cup of sugar for every 4 cups of water.
  • Cook the tapioca pearls properly: The tapioca pearls should be cooked until they are soft and chewy, but not mushy. To achieve this, bring the water to a boil, add the tapioca pearls, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the tapioca pearls for about 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Chill the pearl tea before serving: After you have made the pearl tea, you can chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. This will help to enhance the flavor of the tea and make it more refreshing.
  • Serve the pearl tea with your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can add to your pearl tea, such as milk, cream, fruit, and boba. Choose toppings that you enjoy and that complement the flavor of the tea.

Conclusion:

Pearl tea is a delicious and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a relatively easy drink to make, and it can be customized to your own personal taste. So next time you are looking for a refreshing drink, give pearl tea a try!
