Notes

*I use my homemade vanilla-infused honey as a sweetener and also as a source of vanilla flavor in this recipe.
  • If you are using powdered tea that doesn't require warm water, you can skip the step of letting the tea cool down.
  • Optionally, serve with cooked tapioca pearls (boba) or small pieces of grass jelly.
  • For a layered drink, fill the glass with ice cubes and pour the tea and milk separately.
    Depending on whether you want the blue layer on the bottom or top, you can choose to pour the tea or milk first. Both options look great.
