Bubble tea started life as sweet, milky Black Tea over tapioca, so a robust builder's brew like Yorkshire Gold is a natural base. It holds its own against the milk, sugar and ice instead of fading into them.

Cook the pearls first, brew it strong and sweet, chill it, then layer everything over ice and drink through a wide straw.

You'll need

2 tea bags of Yorkshire Tea Gold Blend
200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
60g dried tapioca pearls (boba)
100ml milk or oat milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey, to taste
Plenty of ice

Method

Cook the tapioca pearls as the pack directs, until soft and chewy, then drain and toss in a little sugar.
Pour the boiled water over the tea bags and steep for 4 to 5 minutes for a strong brew. Lift out the bags and stir in the sugar while hot, then let it cool.
Spoon the pearls into a tall glass and add plenty of ice.
Pour over the cooled sweet tea, top with the milk, and stir. Drink with a wide straw.
Drink it soon after making, as the tapioca pearls turn hard if left to chill for long.

What you'll end up with: A cold, milky glass with proper tea flavour underneath, and soft tapioca to chew at the bottom.
