Instructions
Bring water to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, add the green tea bag to the hot water and remove from heat. Let this steep for 5 minutes.
While the tea steeps, make the boba by bringing water to a boil in another small saucepan. Add the boba and cook until it floats to the surface. Strain out the cooked pearls and put them into the bottom of the serving glass. Add a few drops of honey to the boba pearls and stir. This helps to keep them from sticking to each other.
Remove the tea bag from the tea liquid. Add tea liquid, honey, and fresh strawberries with the leaves removed to a blender and blend until smooth. *See notes below for an alternate method if you do not have a blender.*
Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a cup with boba. Use the back of a spoon to push the liquid through the sieve.
Add ice cubes and milk and stir. Enjoy with a wide straw (for the boba, of course!)! This can also be enjoyed hot - to do that, heat the milk, skip the ice, and combine the hot milk and strawberry mixture in a mug with boba and enjoy!

Notes
Alternate method: If you do not have a blender, simply microwave the strawberries for 1 minute to soften and release the sugar. Then mash with the back of a fork. Add the honey and tea liquid and mix and mash until decently combined. Nutritional information is an estimate and for informational purposes only.
