Read the instructions on the package and see which type of boba pearls you bought. Heat a large pot of water to a boil and then add boba pearls. Cook for the required time (maybe 20 minutes or maybe 5 minutes). Then let them sit covered for another required time until they’re soft and chewy.
Strain and rinse under running water or you can choose to soak in iced cold water. This is the key step to avoid them becoming sticky together.
Then take out and strain. In a small pot, add clean water, brown sugar, and cooked boba pearls, continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the brown sugar thickened ( note 1)

Take 2 or 3 spoonfuls of boba pearls, already attached with the syrup to the glass cup. Rotate to drizzle evenly or use a scoop to help. Add sweetened condensed milk if using.
And then add fresh milk to complete. This is the version with a tiger strip from the Tiger brand. Stir before enjoying to make sure the taste is well-mixed.

Whisk matcha powder with hot water and condensed milk.
