## Summary

Strong Ceylon black shaken with cold milk and brown sugar, poured over chewy tapioca pearls and ice; bubble tea the classic way.

## Description

Bubble tea started in Taiwan with exactly this: strong black tea, milk, sugar and a spoonful of chewy tapioca pearls sitting in the bottom of the glass. Ceylon black is a good honest base for it, brisk enough to come through the milk and the ice. The pearls are the only real faff, and even they just need simmering and a rinse; everything after that is shake and pour.
