Does Caramel Milk Tea have caffeine?

Yes, if you use caffeinated black tea. However, you can swap for decaf tea if you’d prefer a caffeine-free version.

Where can I buy boba?

Quick cook tapioca pearls are available on Amazon and in many Asian grocery stores. Always buy fresh and check that they’re labeled “quick cook” for convenience.

Can I make Caramel Milk Tea without syrup?

No. Sugar won’t deliver the same caramel flavor. Caramel simple syrup is key to achieving that authentic taste.

How should I store leftover boba?

You shouldn’t. Boba hardens in the fridge. Always make it fresh and use immediately.
