Cook the tapioca pearls: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Add the tapioca pearls and stir gently. Cook for 15 minutes or until soft and chewy.

Sweeten the pearls: Drain the cooked pearls and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a bowl and mix with 1 tbsp honey. Let them sit for 10 minutes.

Brew the tea: Steep the black tea bags in 1 cup of hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.

Sweeten the tea: Add 2 tbsp sugar to the brewed tea and stir until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.

Assemble the drink: Divide the sweetened tapioca pearls between two glasses. Add ice cubes, then pour the sweetened tea over the ice.

Add milk: Pour 1/4 cup of milk into each glass. Stir well before drinking to mix all the flavors.

Serve immediately with a wide straw to enjoy the chewy pearls and creamy tea.
