Pro Tips for Drinking Popping Boba with Tea
- Ask for less sugar in your tea. Packed in syrup and contains sugar. You can drain the syrup for less sweetness, but this does not make the product sugar-free.
- Try adding the topping after mixing the drink
- Serve with a spoon. Barley and oat contain gluten. All five toppings are vegan and packed in syrup with sugar. Draining syrup can reduce sweetness but does not make them sugar-free. Not suitable for children under 6 because of choking risk.
Try these pairings with your preferred tea base and record your own taste notes.
