Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Place 2-3 tea bags or 2-3 teaspoons loose tea in the milk. When the milk starts to bubble, take off the heat.

Let the tea steep until the milk has cooled. Remove tea bags or pour tea through a strainer if using loose leaf. Set aside.

Pour water and sugar into a small saucepan over medium high heat.

Stir to dissolve sugar. When sugar has dissolved, take off heat and let cool. Pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.

Heat water over high heat until boiling. Add boba pearls and stir. When they float to the surface, reduce heat a bit, cover and let boil for about 5 minutes (try one to make sure they're soft).

Use a slotted spoon to remove from the saucepan and transfer to a bowl of cold water for 30 seconds.

Then use the slotted spoon to place in a bowl of simple syrup. Keep the boba in the syrup until you're ready to assemble your drink.

Add boba and simple syrup to glass (add to taste).

Fill glass with ice. Pour the tea-infused milk over the ice. Add additional simple syrup if you'd like a sweeter tea.

Add the Cheese Cap (optional).
