boba milk tea

Bubble tea has become an important cultural staple in Taiwan, and a way to showcase the small island’s delicious offerings to the rest of the international food scene.

Boba was never really a big deal in my hometown, so when I got to UC Berkeley as a freshman, people were shocked that I had never tried it before. Even now as a junior, despite trying boba multiple times, I still don’t understand the hype around it. 

Have you ever wondered which topping pairs the best in milk and fruit teas? The Clog is here to set the record straight.

Though it may not be the same as going to your favorite boba place with your friends after a tough midterm, making boba milk tea at home offers many opportunities for creativity and customization.
