Cook the tapioca pearls according to package directions, then rinse, drain and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium high heat, add the water, sugar and strawberry powder. Bring to a simmer while whisking, then turn the heat to a low simmer and place a lid on. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes, then turn the heat off and allow the syrup to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the tea by pouring 1 cup of boiling water over the hibiscus tea bag, allowing it to steep for 5 minutes and then let it cool.
To make strawberry bubble tea: add ice to a glass if using, followed by 1/4 cup boba pearls, 1/2 cup strawberry syrup, 1/2 cup tea and 1/2 cup milk. Repeat for the second serving.
Enjoy! Please note: milk tea is more easily enjoyed with a special boba straw.
