brown sugar milk boba - Mallory Oniki

Start by bring a pot of water to boil to cook the boba. When the water is boiling, add the boba and cook according to package instructions.
While the boba is boiling, add the brown sugar and water to a pot over medium heat. Stir while the sugar begins to melt. After a couple minutes the mixture will start to simmer and bubble. Continue to stir and let the mixture cook for 3-5 minutes. The mixture should never boil (only softly simmer), so if it starts to boil turn down the heat!
Once the mixture has thickened slightly, turn off the heat. The syrup with continue to thicken while it cools down so turn off the heat while it is thinner than you want the final product to be.
When the boba is finished cooking, drain it and add it to the syrup. Stir and make sure all the boba is covered by the syrup. Let the boba and syrup cool completely (if you are in a rush you can stick it in the fridge!).
Once it's cooled, divide the boba between two cups. Add ice and milk. Stir so the syrup gets mixed into the milk and enjoy!
