Using minimal ingredients and time, you can save your money and a trip and make this Boba Tea Recipe at home. It will be a great morning or afternoon pick-me-up.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tea then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer the tea for 2 minutes then take off the heat and let steep for about 5 minutes.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the tea into a large heat-proof bowl, discard the leaves. Let cool to room temperature and then place in the fridge to chill.
Bring mixture to a simmer and simmer for 3 minutes, again stirring constantly. This can boil rapidly so make sure to remove from heat if it starts to boil over.
