Ingredients

• Instant Tapioca Balls (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PLTLG4O)
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 16 oz Brewed tea, chilled
• Milk or creamer

Steps

1. Brew your choice of tea according to instructions, let chill. Traditionally we use black tea but feel free to experiment with green or oolong tea. I like a robust tea flavor in my drinks, so I brew the tea a bit stronger than usual. 
2. Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Cook tapioca according to package directions. I use about 40 pieces per 16 oz drink. 
3. In a separate small pan, heat up equal parts brown sugar and honey over low heat. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick. 
4. When the tapioca balls have finished cooking, scoop them into the sugar/honey mixture and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
5. Scoop tapioca balls into a tall glass. Add as much of the brown sugar syrup as you like. 
6. Add the chilled brewed tea, top with your choice of milk or creamer. I like a 3/4 tea and 1/4 milk ratio.
