OOlong Tea for Bobba 500 g

Oolong tea is a fantastic choice for making boba (bubble tea) because of its unique flavor profile, which balances the boldness of black tea and the lightness of green tea. Here's a simple guide to making oolong tea for boba:

Ingredients

• 2-3 tsp of loose-leaf oolong tea (or 2 tea bags)
• 2 cups of water
• Sweetener (optional, e.g., sugar, honey, or syrup)

• Milk or creamer (optional, if you want a milk tea version)
• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

Brew the Oolong Tea

• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then let it cool for about 1 minute to prevent burning the tea.

• Steep for 4-6 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor. Strain or remove tea bags.

Sweeten the Tea (Optional)

• While the tea is still warm, add your preferred sweetener and stir until dissolved.

Prepare the Boba Pearls

• Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions.
• Drain and rinse them under cold water, then toss them in a bit of sugar or syrup to prevent sticking.

Assemble the Drink
