Steps:

• Make the boba pearls: Add the water and muscovado sugar to a medium pan over medium-high heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil, 3-4 minutes. Add a bit of the tapioca flour and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth. Add half of the remaining tapioca flour and stir vigorously until a sticky dough forms. Turn off the heat and add the remaining tapioca flour. Stir until the dough comes together in a ball (not all of the flour will be incorporated at this stage). Let cool slightly.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Knead until all of the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth, adding more flour or water as needed if the dough is too sticky or too dry.
• Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll the dough into long, thin ropes about ¼-inch (6.35 mm) thick, cutting in half crosswise if they get too long. Cut the ropes into ¼-inch (6.35 mm) pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place in a bowl with a bit of tapioca flour. Dust the balls with the flour to prevent them from sticking to each other.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Shake off any excess flour from the tapioca pearls, then add to the boiling water. Stir to separate the pearls, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the brown sugar syrup: Add the muscovado sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the syrup reduces slightly, 5-7 minutes. Pour the syrup into a large heatproof bowl.
• Once the pearls have cooked through, drain and rinse with cold water. Add the pearls to the bowl with the brown sugar syrup and let sit for 30-60 minutes.
• Make the black tea: In a medium pot over high heat, combine the water and tea bags. Bring to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat and let the tea cool to room temperature.
• Make the milk mixture: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the half-and-half and sweetened condensed milk until combined.
• Assemble the boba milk tea: Add about ⅓ cup (80 ml) boba pearls and brown sugar syrup to the bottom of each glass. Top with 1½ cups (225 grams) ice, then add ½ cup (240 ml) black tea and 3 tablespoons of the milk mixture. Stir with a wide-opening straw, then serve.

Steps:

• In a medium pot over high heat, combine the water and tea bags. Bring to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat and let the tea cool to room temperature.
• Bring a medium pot of water to boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the tapioca pearls and boil until softened, about 20 minutes.
• Drain the pearls through a strainer.
• Set the strainer with the pearls over a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar to the strainer and pour the hot water over.
• Stir to dissolve the brown sugar. Soak the pearls in brown sugar syrup for 30 minutes, then store the bubbles and syrup separately until ready to serve.
• Assemble the tea: Divide the pearls and ice between 2 glasses, then add the brown sugar syrup, tea, and half and half.
• Stir with a wide-opening straw, then serve.

Steps:

• Infuse the milk tea cream: Add heavy cream and black tea bag to a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the cream just barely begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Transfer the infused cream and tea bag to a medium heatproof bowl, let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Make the boba with brown sugar syrup: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Shake off any excess flour from the boba pearls, then add to the boiling water. Stir to separate the pearls, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until cooked through. Drain the boba and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl.
• Meanwhile, make the brown sugar syrup: Add the muscovado sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly, 5-7 minutes. Pour the syrup over the boba and stir to coat. Let sit for about 1 hour.
• Make the pancakes: Add the milk, 4 tablespoons of butter, and the black tea bags to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Do not let it come to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and remove the tea bags, gently squeezing out any excess liquid. Transfer the tea milk to a medium heat-proof bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the cooled tea milk, vanilla, and egg yolk.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Add the egg white and fold until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, until thickened.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter begins to bubble, add about ¼ cup of the batter to the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed. You should have about 8 pancakes.
• Make milk tea cream: Remove the tea bag from the chilled infused cream. Pour ½ cup of the cream into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the mascarpone and powdered sugar. Whip on medium speed until the mixture just barely starts to thicken, about 1 minute. It should still be a little runny.
• When ready to serve, set 1 pancake on a plate and top with about 1 tablespoon of the boba pearls and syrup. Repeat to stack 3 more pancakes on top. Pour half of the milk tea cream over the top and garnish with 2 tablespoons of boba pearls. Repeat to make a second serving.

Steps:

• Make the Thai tea custard: Add the milk and Thai tea bags to a small saucepan. Warm over low heat until the milk just barely begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently press the tea bags against the side of the pot so that all of the flavor is released into the milk. Turn off the heat, remove the tea bags, and let the infused milk cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and cornstarch until thoroughly combined and the mixture turns light yellow in color.
• While whisking constantly so the eggs do not curdle, slowly pour the infused milk into the egg yolk mixture. Pour the custard back into the pot used to infuse the milk and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming, for 3-4 minutes, until thickened. Strain the custard into a medium heatproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to the freezer to chill for 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
• Make the wheel cakes: In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture turns light yellow in color. Add the salt, milk, and melted butter and whisk to combine.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter a bit at a time, taking care not to deflate the batter.
• Heat the wheel cake pan over low heat. Generously grease the pan, as well as a ¼-cup measure and 1-tablespoon measure, with nonstick spray.
• Add a pinch of black sesame seeds to each of the wheel cake cups. Using the greased measuring cup, scoop ¼ cup of the batter into each of the cups. Using the back end of a chopstick, swirl the batter around so it coats the sides of the cups all the way to the top edges. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sides begin to bubble and set.
• Using the greased tablespoon measure, add 2 tablespoons of boba to the centers of two of the cakes. Add 2 tablespoons of Thai tea custard to each of the remaining cakes. Continue cooking the cakes, using chopsticks to rotate them so they cook evenly and don't stick to the pan, until browned and cooked ¾ of the way through, 2-3 minutes more.
• Use an offset spatula to flip the cakes with the boba onto the cakes with the tea custard, gently pressing down to sandwich the halves together. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the cakes are evenly brown on both sides. Remove the cakes from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and fillings to make 7 cakes total.
