\"Tiger<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Tiger milk tea is a type of bubble tea originally from Taiwan. It’s made with brewed black tea, milk, sugar syrup, and tiny tapioca pearls for added texture. The drink gets its name from the stripes created when mixing the brown sugar syrup and white milk, creating tiger-like stripes in the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Names<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tiger milk tea is also known by several other names depending on the region where it is served. Here are some of the alternative names of tiger milk tea and how they differ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Brown sugar milk tea – This name refers to the sweetener used in the tea: brown sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Boba milk tea – This name refers to the tapioca pearls (also known as “boba”) that are typically added to tiger milk tea. Boba milk tea is basically another name for tiger milk tea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Pearl milk tea – Yet another name for boba milk tea. Some people use “pearl” instead of “boba” to refer to the tapioca pearls in the drink.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Bubble milk tea – This is another name for boba milk tea, and it refers to the bubbles that form on top of the tea when it is shaken.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What Does Tiger Milk Tea Taste Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Tiger milk tea tastes sweet, creamy, and slightly caramel-like due to the brown sugar used as a sweetener. The tea has a smooth and velvety texture, thanks to the addition of milk or cream. The tapioca pearls added to the drink have a slightly chewy texture and don’t have much flavor. Still, they add an interesting texture to the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some variations of tiger milk tea may have additional flavors, such as fruit or floral, depending on the tea and sweetener<\/a> used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Overall, the taste<\/a> of tiger milk tea can vary depending on the recipe and the specific ingredients you add to the drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tiger Milk Tea Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The drink can be made with simple ingredients that are easy to find in any grocery store or online. Below you will find the typical components of tiger milk tea. However, additional ingredients, such as fruit, may be added depending on the recipe or your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Black Tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You need two tea bags to make this recipe – perfect for producing two or three mid-sized drinks. Add one extra bag for an even deeper, more robust tea flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alternatively, those using loose leaves can use two teaspoons of green or black tea leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Muscovado Sugar (Or Dark Brown Sugar)<\/h3>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Muscovado<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Muscovado sugar, available in brown and dark brown varieties, is an unrefined cane sugar with a distinct brown color. Unlike brown sugar, it undergoes no refining process and retains its natural molasses, resulting in a unique toffee-like flavor. Its texture is comparable to that of Jaggery, being crumbly and moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For making tiger boba, traditionalists prefer muscovado sugar. Still, dark brown sugar is a suitable alternative when muscovado sugar is unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whole Milk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Whole milk is the go-to choice when it comes to tiger milk tea. However, depending on your preference, it can be replaced with other types of milk, such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk. These alternatives provide the same creaminess and thickness, so both work well for the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tapioca Pearls\/Boba<\/h3>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Tapioca<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Tapioca perls or boba are an essential ingridient of tiger milk tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Making tapioca pearls from scratch is a challenging process requiring practice. We suggest using store-bought black boba pearls instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
