Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the black tea bags and let steep for 3-5 minutes, or until the tea reaches your desired strength. Strain the tea into a large pitcher and discard the tea bags.
2
In a small saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, and honey. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the milk is hot but not boiling.
3
Add the tapioca pearls to the milk mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pearls are cooked through and have absorbed some of the milk.
4
To assemble the drink, fill a tall glass with ice. Pour the tea over the ice, followed by the milk mixture. Stir gently to combine. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
