Same way I already do, tear the plastic “lid” off and dump it down my throat.

I too enjoy gargling little black balls

How do you get pearls that are at the bottom of the cup? You drink the tea first and then use a spoon for pearls? Bubble tea requires a straw to properly enjoy. Otherwise you can't get a mixture of both tea and pearls.
