Notes

  • Cook the boba through. Test a couple before turning the flame off.
  • To store the tea: The tea is best enjoyed fresh. However, it can be refrigerated for upto 4 hours. To keep it longer than that, remove all the boba with a slotted spoon and discard. Add more boba as required.
  • To store the boba: Store cooked boba in an airtight container covered in sugar syrup. Refrigerate to keep them from hardening.
  • Simply remove the boba to make regular Rose Tea with milk.
