Typically, this is made from either:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Black tea<\/strong> \u2013 Known for its robust flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green tea<\/strong> \u2013 Offers a lighter, more refreshing taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oolong tea<\/strong> \u2013 A traditional choice with a rich, floral aroma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These teas can be served hot or cold and are often mixed with milk or fruit flavors to create a variety of taste profiles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Milk<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Milk adds a creamy texture and rich flavor to boba tea, creating what is often referred to as <em>milk tea<\/em>. Here are the most common options used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Whole milk<\/strong> \u2013 Provides richness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-dairy milk<\/strong> \u2013 Such as almond or soy for those with dietary restrictions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Powdered milk<\/strong> \u2013 A popular choice in many Asian countries for a smooth, consistent texture.\n<figure id=\"attachment_9356\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9356\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-9356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yingxuanzhuang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ingredients-Display-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients Display\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9356\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ingredients Display<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Sweeteners<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To balance the bitterness of the tea, sweeteners are added. These can vary widely but typically include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sugar syrup<\/strong> \u2013 Easily blends into cold beverages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honey<\/strong> \u2013 A natural option that adds a distinct sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar<\/strong> \u2013 Gives a deep, caramel-like sweetness, often used in <em>brown sugar boba tea<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9359\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-9359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yingxuanzhuang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Person-Preparing-Boba-Tea-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Person Preparing Boba Tea\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Person Preparing Boba Tea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Tapioca Pearls<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The signature of boba tea is undoubtedly the <strong>tapioca pearls<\/strong>.
