Pearl Milk Tea



Holiday is almost over, and I/we have been drowning myself/ourselves in bubble tea everyday when we were down in London. One large cup cost £3.75! So expensive! I am back in the bubble (St Andrews) now, and once again I am deprived of any sort of Asian delights. So I went to Dundee and got myself a pack of pearls and went to Tesco to buy evaporated milk to make my own bubble tea.

Recipe
Pearls
8 tablespoons of Evaporated Milk (depending on how milky you want it to be)
2 sachets of English Breakfast Tea (or any kind of tea you want)
3 tablespoons of Sugar (depending on how sweet you want it to be)

a) To make the pearls
1. Proportion of pearls to water should always be 1:10
2. Add boiling hot water to pearls in a pot
3. Boil pearls for about 3-5 minutes till pearls float
4. Drain the cooked pearls and soak in cold water for 20 minutes

b) To make the milk tea
1. Pour 3 cups of boiling hot water into a pot and soak the sachets of tea
2. Pour enough boiling hot water into the cup of sugar, allowing sugar to dissolve and obtain sugar water
3. Add sugar water into the pot of tea
4. Remove sachets of tea
5. Add evaporated milk

c) To make pearl milk tea
1. Combine both

Tada. :)
