If you’re adding boba to your milk tea, set aside 1/4 cup (or 2 oz) of your tea. Stir in 4 tablespoons of sugar or simple syrup until it’s completely dissolved. Add 1/4 cup of milk. Enjoy your milk tea hot — or let it cool and add boba! For boba, you’ll need 1/2 cup of tapioca pearls cooked according to the package instructions.
