National Bubble Tea Day

 

I love bubble tea (aka boba tea) and I’m so glad there’s a day for it.  At one point, I considered buying a machine to make my own.  Amazon now sells premade boba (of course!)

In the 1980s, the Taiwanese developed a beverage combining the refreshing goodness of tea, the wholesome creaminess of milk and the fun, delicious surprise of bubbles. The bubbles, also known as boba or pearls, are made from tapioca. The tea can be created with or without milk, ice, sugar, and toppings.
