Milk tea is very classic for boba tea (bubble tea).
Boba is simply tapioca pears, nicely chewy texture and very fun to eat! You can use espresso or matcha green tea instead of black tea, would be very delicious!
Homemade boba tea’s beauty is you have 100% control of sweetness, strongness of tea/coffee and it is very cheap to make!
Enjoy homemade boba tea!

I’ve made boba milk tea before with a different recipe (using sugar) and this one was soooo much better. The sweetened condensed milk and honey are key. My girls loved it! Thank you!
