Brown Sugar Bubble Tea: A true classic
The unrefined brown cane sugar bubble tea is one of the most famous recipes among boba lovers. It can be customized with more or less syrup depending on your preferred sweetness, but the core ingredients always remain the same: black tea, chewy tapioca pearls, a splash of milk, and the famous brown sugar syrup. The result is an incredibly indulgent drink with rich, caramelized notes, made fun by the tapioca pearls rolling up the straw. Indulgent and playful—that is the secret behind this recipe's massive success.

How to prepare your Brown Sugar Bubble Tea
Preparing a Brown Sugar Bubble Tea is quick and easy.
- Brew: Infuse your black tea following the recommended temperature and brewing time.
- Cream: Add a splash of milk (or more, depending on your preference).
- Sweeten: Pour in the brown sugar syrup based on your desired sweetness.
- Assemble: Add 30g to 50g of pre-cooked Tapioca pearls (check out our quick tutorial for cooking tapioca pearls).
- Enjoy: Drop in your jumbo straw and sip away!
Note: If you prefer a hot version, make sure the drink is not boiling so your sugarcane straw retains its shape (and to prevent stainless steel straws from getting too hot). For an iced version, simply let the tea cool down and add a few ice cubes before serving! Not a fan of tapioca? Swap them out for apple or strawberry fruit pearls.
