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

  • Colobotan

    Fat accumulated in the lower body (the pear shape) is subcutaneous, while fat in the abdominal area (the apple shape) is largely visceral. Where fat ends up is influenced by several factors, including heredity and hormones. As the evidence against abdominal fat mounts, researchers and clinicians are trying to measure it, correlate it with health risks, and monitor changes that occur with age and overall weight gain or loss.

    Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as cannabis or hemp. One specific form of CBD is approved as a drug in the U.S. for seizure. Over 80 chemicals, known as cannabinoids, have been found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the most famous ingredient in cannabis. But CBD is obtained from hemp, a form of the Cannabis sativa plant that only contains small amounts of THC. CBD seems to have effects on some chemicals in the brain, but these are different than the effects of THC.

    Meat and poultry are great sources of protein. They also provide lots of other nutrients your body needs, like iodine, iron, zinc, vitamins (especially B12) and essential fatty acids. So it’s a good idea to eat meat and poultry every week as part of your balanced diet. But it’s best to stick with unprocessed, lean cuts and to eat the recommended serving size, to avoid taking in too much salt and saturated fat.

    The Keto Way of burning fat fast from the body is known as Ketosis. During ketosis, our body converts the fatty acids into energy. Due to less intake of carbohydrates during Ketosis, the source of energy automatically shifts towards fat compounds. This results in burning of fat fast or in a layman language loss of weight. Keto diet is also beneficial for a lot of health diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and mental disorders.
