Ingredients List
For the Milk Tea:
- 1 cup brewed black or green tea (chilled)

- ½ cup milk of choice (whole, oat, almond, etc.)
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions
Step 1: Brew the Tea
Start by brewing a strong cup of black or green tea, then let it cool completely. You can chill it faster in the fridge.
Why this matters: The tea adds a tannic depth that balances the sweet peach flavor.
Step 2: Cook the Tapioca Pearls
Prepare the boba pearls according to package directions (typically 5–7 minutes). Once cooked, rinse and toss them in brown sugar or honey syrup.
Why this matters: Coating boba keeps them soft, flavorful, and prevents clumping.
Step 3: Mix the Milk Tea
In a shaker or blender, combine the brewed tea, peach juice, milk, sweetener, and vanilla. Shake or blend until smooth and slightly frothy.
Why this matters: Shaking or blending integrates all flavors and adds a light, café-style foam.
Step 4: Assemble the Drink
Divide the boba between two tall glasses. Add ice, then pour the milk tea mixture over the top. Garnish with peach slices and mint.
Why this matters: Layering the drink keeps the textures distinct and makes it visually appealing.
