Tips and tricks

• If you want to serve this drink cold, use cold water and plenty ice.
• Make sure to coat the boba pearls in sugar immediately after cooking so that they do not stick together.
• To serve this hot, use hot boiling milk and water.
• This is best enjoyed immediately after making it.
• Adjust ingredients such as sugar and cocoa powder according to taste.

Variations

This milk tea can be served without the boba pearls.

You can also make this chocolate into a caramel or hazelnut milk tea.

How to serve

If enjoying it hot, serve in a mug with no straw. If enjoying it cold, serve in a glass jar with ice and a large boba straw.

How to store

This is best enjoyed fresh since the boba pearls can get a bit tricky if they are left laying around for too long after cooking them.

However, if you want to store for later, place the boba pearls in a container separately in the fridge. All the other ingredients like milk and cocoa powder keep them where you would normally preserve them.
