What does chocolate bubble milk tea taste like?

It tastes like iced hot chocolate, but with chewy pearls at the bottom.

Yes! Just use plant-based milk and a vegan hot chocolate mix.

Can I store bubble milk tea?

Yes, but store the pearls separately. The milk tea lasts 48 hours, pearls only 1–2 days.

How many calories does it have?

About 450 calories per large serving.

Can I prepare pearls in advance?

Not recommended. Pearls harden and stick together when stored too long.

Is homemade cheaper than store-bought?

Absolutely. Homemade versions cost less than half of what you’d pay at a boba shop.
