In a small pot bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tea leaves to the boiling water, reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Strain the tea into a jar, allow it to chill completely (see notes).
Meanwhile prepare the simple syrup by heating the coconut sugar and ¼ cup water in a small pot.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, pour into a small bowl and allow to cool.
To cook the boba pearls, bring 3 cups of water to the boil, add the boba pearls and boil for 5 minutes or until the pearls are cooked through.
