Houston is going all out with the summer temps lately. This weekend was forecasted to be breaking all-time high. No wonder I’ve been getting cravings for boba milk tea aka bubble tea.

A trip to your favorite Asian grocery store and navigating through its parking is the most difficult process in making this cold tea. Once you’ve got the ingredients, everything else is easy!

First get the tapioca pearls. You will need to boil these in 3-4 minutes depending on how soft you want it to be. Mine is exactly 3 minutes and 43 seconds. Haha.

There are several flavors to choose from. I got my favorites: the green tea, Thai tea and plain milk tea. Follow the packages for direction. Add cooked tapioca, then ice.
