Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add tapioca pearls and stir. Turn heat off and cover. Cook pearls for 5-7 minutes, until they float to the top and are tender. Drain pearls and run under cold water. Transfer to a glass.
Stir together 1/2 cup of hot water, tea crystals, and coconut sugar. Add a couple of ice cubes to chill the tea.
Add ice to glass with boba pearls and pour in tea/coconut sugar mixture. Top with coconut milk and stir to combine. Enjoy!
