Step By Step Preparation of Tiger Milk Tea 

Ingredients 

1 cup of muscovado sugar 

1 cup of water 

2 bags of black tea 

1 and ½ cup of oat milk 

The ingredients listed above yield 1-2 servings and take about 40 minutes of your total time to prepare. 

 

Step 1 

Before you begin the Pearl bubble tea, we recommend that you start preparing your boba pearls. If you don't know how to prepare the tapioca pearls, we'll give you a step by step guide after showing you how to prepare the black sugar milk tea. 

You can skip the steps now and check below before you proceed with the pearl bubble tea. 

The first step is to create a highly thick brown sugar syrup. The reason is to sweeten the milk tea and give the inner cup of the drink the stripe appearance. In the end, you will have a tiger stripe look, and that's why it is also called tiger milk tea. 

If you want to make the brown sugar syrup from scratch, here is how to do it. Add 1 cup of muscovado sugar and 1 cup of water into a pot. Heat the pot until it boils and decrease the heat for it to simmer. Do not forget to stir occasionally. 

You should look out for thick consistency like molasses. You can compare the consistency to that of caramel (if you have ever made some from scratch). That's the kind of texture you should look out for. 

After getting the right consistency, put it aside and let it cool down. 

 

Step 2 

What you do next is to take the one and ½ cup of the milk you prefer and boil it. When the milk boils, add two black tea bags. You can use loose leaves as an alternative. There are specific loose black tea leaves that bring out a pleasant aroma and deep flavors. 

You can use whatever tea leaves work for you. Steep the black tea leaves for 3-5 minutes. With that amount of time, you should get the full percentage of the tea flavor. After it has steeped for a minimum of three minutes, remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaves. Allow the tea to cool, preferably get the tea to cool to a room temperature. 

 

Step 3 

Take your shaker and pour in the steeped tea, including a few ice cubes. Shake well for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes freezing. 

 

Step 4 

It is now time to bring all the tiger milk tea together. Take out your favorite cup and add as many tapioca pearls as you want. After, get the syrup mixture you made and line the brown sugar syrup in the cup. 

The final step is to fill up a glass with the milk tea you shook. You are now ready to enjoy your delicious tiger milk tea.
