How to Customize Your Boba Drink

What is boba? Boba pearls are made of tapioca starch that comes from the cassava root. They are chewy, sweet, and are a nice addition to your drink. The pearls are traditionally added into milk tea, which is, as the name mentions, milk and tea. However, there are a lot of different ways you can customize your own drink, and even make it more calorie friendly.

It is an easy 4 step process: base, topping, sugar level, and ice level.

Step 1: Base

The amazing thing about drinks is that there are a variety of flavors you can get from classics to crazy drinks. You can get milk teas, fruit teas, slushies, smoothies, and many more. 

Step 2: Toppings

Next, you choose the toppings. Since it's BOBA tea, the tapioca pearls are the classic topping; however, there are many more to choose from. You can get various types of fruit jellies, popping boba, and egg puddings. If you are looking for a topping that is calorie friendly, the jellies and popping boba are good options. 

Step 3: Sugar Level

The sweetness depends on each tea shop, but there should be varying levels from 0%-100%. This helps customize your drink to the level of sweetness you would like. 

Step 4: Ice Level

Lastly, you can choose the amount of ice in your drink. This also has varying levels from 0%-100%. Depending on how diluted you want your drink to be, this is a good way to customize your drink. 

Now you're done! You are able to use these 4 steps to customize your drink at any tea shop.
