  • Prepare your simple syrup and tapioca pearls. To make the simple syrup, dissolve 1 part white sugar in 1 part water in a pot on a stove. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, your simple syrup is ready for use.
  • Meanwhile, cook instant tapioca pearls in boiling water for 5 minutes. Then, add the cooked pearls into an ice bath for 1 minute. Your tapioca pearls are now ready for use.
  • If you want to make layers of your Earl Grey milk tea, assemble them in this order: Add the tapioca pearls into your glass cup, followed by simple syrup, milk, ice and finally, the tea.
