- 1 quarter to 1 half teaspoon rose syrup, depending on taste

- 1 quarter cup cooked black tapioca pearls
- Ice, optional
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey, optional for sweetening the boba
Instructions
- Brew the tea
Bring the water to a boil.
Steep the tea bag for 3 to 5 minutes.

Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions.
Drain and stir in a small amount of sugar or honey to keep them soft and glossy. Set aside. - Mix the strawberry rose base

If you want a strawberry flavour that is brighter and fresher than syrup, this will take less than five minutes. Blend fresh or frozen strawberries until smooth, then add sugar to taste. Strain it if you want a smooth finish, or leave it as is if you prefer a more fruity texture.

How to Get the Right Balance
This is the most important part of the recipe.
Strawberry should always come first. Rose should support it, not compete with it. If you taste the rose before the strawberry, you have added too much.
If your strawberry puree is naturally sweet, you may not need any additional sugar. If you want the drink a little sweeter, add sweetener slowly and stir well before tasting again.
This balance is what keeps this Valentine’s Day bubble tea feeling calm and intentional instead of overwhelming.
How to Serve This Bubble Tea on Valentine’s Day
This bubble tea works best when kept simple. A clear glass shows off the soft pink color. A few sliced strawberries or heart shaped ice can make it feel playful without going too far.
For a cozier version, serve the drink warm instead of iced. It becomes something you sip slowly rather than rush through.

Optional Topping or Side
If you want to add something extra, keep it light.
A small square of dark chocolate and, of course, strawberries pair beautifully with this drink. The slight bitterness of dark chocolate works especially well with strawberry.
For a lighter topping inside the drink, crystal boba or strawberry heart jelly adds texture without changing the flavour too much.
