Notes
If you want to add a kick of richness to the beverage, you can add 2 tablespoons of condensed milk. The sugar sweetener may be substituted with honey, fructose, or agave syrup as well—up to you.
Opt for skim or vegan milk instead of whole-fat milk for fewer calories in your bubble milk tea. You can also leave the drink unsweetened, although the quality of the beverage may be affected.
Mixing other fresh fruits such as banana, mango, passion fruit, or lychee into the drink can also make the drink more flavorful and colorful. Feel free to experiment with the boba toppings; you can add a large variety of them to your boba drink for a jump in texture.
