Milk Tea What? What Milk Tea?

A Taiwanese sensation swept across America. Many flavored drinks -- tea, juice, shake, etc., are coupled together with tapioca. Slurped through "fat" straws, the consistency is similar to glutinous rice balls or dumplings (American version). Texture should be "bouncy" & "chewy" but soft. The tapioca is flavorless although some may like to lightly sweeten it up before serving. I prefer milk tea with tapioca the most.

Don't get confused by its different names. They all mean the same thing.

Tapioca milk tea or milk tea tapioca
Boba milk tea
Bubble milk tea
Pearl milk tea

Although they can range in color and size, the tapioca are typically black and compare to the size of a small blueberry.
