Notes
Spearmint works best—peppermint will make this bubble tea taste like toothpaste.
If you prefer a blended beverage, put everything in the blender (without the toppings) to make a nojito smoothie.
If you’d like more coconut flavor and a sweeter, richer nojito, use coconut milk instead of coconut water. Coconut milk is the only milk that works in this recipe; other kinds of milk will change the flavor and clash with the mint.
