Taiwanese Icy Tapioca Milk Tea(Pearl Milk Tea)

Introduction
A popular summer beverage in Taiwan. Generally sold by street vendors. No one really makes it at home. There are different sizes of Tapioca, however, jumbo Tapioca are the most preferred. (We call this "the frog's eyes".) Special straws are made for Jumbo Tapioca Milk Tea.

Ingredients
1 pack of Tapioca Ball/pearls
Red Tea bag(Chinese red tea or Lipton tea bag)
Cream(Half and Half/powder cream/or you may use condensed milk and do not use sugar. **I often use the last method.)
Sugar to taste

Preparation
Boil water, add in tapioca balls until done or balls become clear. (Do nto over cook as the pearls will become "glue".) Drain water. Chill in room temperature. Store the "pearls" in refrigerator.

Make tea like how you always make them. Add cream and sugar. Chill with ice cubes or in refrigerator. Some also use ice tea powder instead of tea bags. Street vender usually use ice tea powder, crushed ice and ice water; then, shake the mixture in a cocktail shaker. Finally, mix in Tapioca and ready to serve.
When chilled, pour tea in a glass. Mix in 1 or 2 tablespoons of Tapioca.
Ready to serve. Looks good and taste great!
