Some trial and error, but good
Please excuse the partial cup in pic, forgot to take it earlier. Great product. It is a good sized bag BUT you use a lot of it for a normal 16 oz cup. So, there's a lot of options on how to make it, I'll tell you my personal favorite way. This is for one 16 oz drink with biba no ice, make a little less if you use ice.
Boil 1 1/2 cup of water. Turn it off the heat and steep 2 bags of tea (black) for 5 min. Remove the tea bags and put it back on to high heat. Add 6 heaping tablespoons (not the measuring tbsp, but the big spoon in your silverware drawer) of the milk tea mix and wish until dissolved. I'll turn it off the heat and add a good splash of milk, maybe up to 1/4 cup. Now you can either refridgerate until cold or shake in a shaker with ice until it is and serve over your boba pearls.
I've made this with straight cold milk and a shaker and have found it got too frothy for me and the powder didn't fully disolve. I like the tea bags better than straight milk, it makes the taste more authentic to the shops I go to and it is less sweet to me.
