How to Make Brown Sugar Milk Tea

Step 1

Before we start this recipe for tiger milk tea or brown sugar milk tea, we recommend you start by making the boba pearls. 

 

We’re not going anywhere. Come back here when you’re complete! 

Step 2

Amazing! Now that you have delicious boba pearls cooked up, set those aside. 

Let’s get started on making our brown sugar milk tea recipe or pearl milk tea! 

The first step is creating a super thick brown sugar syrup. This is used to sweeten the drink and line the inner cup of the milk tea to give it that “tiger stripe” look. This is also part of the reason why another name for brown sugar milk tea is tiger milk tea. 

Here’s exactly how to make brown sugar syrup from scratch. Take 1 cup of water and 1 cup of the sugar and put them together in a pot. Bring your pot to a boil, then lower the heat for a simmer, and stir occasionally. 

You’re looking for a thick and molasses-like consistency from the brown sugar syrup. If you’ve ever made caramel from scratch then you know what consistency to look for. It’s very similar.  

Once it has achieved the right texture, set it aside and let it cool. 

Step 3

Next, take 1 and 1/2 cups of your preferred milk (we like using oat milk or whole milk) and bring it to a boil. Once the oat milk comes to a boil, add 2 black tea bags or loose black tea leaves into the pot. 

We love to use loose black tea leaves so that the aromatic notes and depth of flavors infuse nicely. Sometimes using already made black tea bags do not get the best flavors out of them. But they sure are convenient at times!  

Steep for 3-5 minutes. You’ll experience a full-bodied flavor of tea with this steep duration. 

Once the tea has steeped for 3-5 minutes, remove the tea bags (or strain the loose tea leaves) and allow it to cool to room temperature. 

Step 4

Grab your cocktail shaker and fill it with the cooled down steeped tea and a few ice cubes. Shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes and you’ll have a really cold milk tea (and hands). If you don't have a cocktail shaker, then just use a normal cup and ice and stir. 

Step 5

It’s time to finally assemble your cup of brown sugar milk tea and serve. 

Grab your favorite boba glass and put in as much boba as you like into it. Then take a spoon and the syrup mixture we made in step 2, and line the inside of the cup with the brown sugar syrup. 

Feel free to add as much syrup as you like! 

Lastly, fill up your glass with the milk tea you shook up and you’re on your way to enjoying some delicious brown sugar milk tea! 

We hope you enjoyed this recipe for tiger milk tea or brown sugar milk tea. 

We based this recipe off of what we thought was the most balanced taste. But our taste might not match your taste buds. So experiment with it! You might want more of a malty taste by adding more brown sugar syrup. 

If you’re curious, here’s a lot of other names that people call this drink. 

  • Tiger milk tea or tiger boba 
  • Brown sugar pearl milk tea or brown sugar pearl bubble tea
  • Pearl milk tea or pearl bubble tea 
  • Tiger sugar milk
  • Black tiger tea, black sugar bubble tea, black sugar milk tea

    You should not substitute fat for carbohydrates, but follow a diet rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (olive oil, avocado or nuts) that will also satisfy you earlier. If you do not consume a diet based on healthy fats, you will not be able to lose those extra kilos that have landed on your gut.

    Joint pain is discomfort that arises from any joint. The medical word for joint pain is arthralgia. This is different to the word arthritis, which means inflammation of the joint, which causes pain and sometimes warmth, redness and/or swelling of the joint. A joint can be painful without being inflamed, or it can be both painful and inflamed.

    Getting under the covers a little sooner doesn’t just help you avoid late-night snacking. Missing out on a full night’s rest slows down your body’s metabolism, it can also lead to elevated cortisol levels which can encourage your body to store more fat. If you want to increase your calorie burn, and keep cortisol levels in check, aim for 7-8 hours of shut-eye per night.

    Vision is our most precious special sense. Nearly half of the human brain is engaged in vision-related activities. Vision loss is any reduction in the ability to see, including blurred vision, cloudy vision, double vision, blind spots, poor night vision, and loss of peripheral vision (tunnel vision). Vision loss may affect one or both eyes, it may occur gradually or suddenly, and it may be partial or complete.
