This Strawberry Boba Milk is the perfect drink to have in this strawberry season.
INGREDIENTS USED IN STRAWBERRY BOBA MILK
Tapioca Starch
The boba pearls used in the Bubble tea are traditionally made with tapioca flour or tapioca starch. The starch gives the pearls a chewy texture upon cooking and boiling them gives it the sheen of the pearls.
Strawberries
Strawberries are in season right now, so, fresh strawberries work the best for this drink. Strawberry puree as well as finely diced strawberries, both go into the drink and contribute to the burst of flavor which is oh-so-irresistible. You can use frozen strawberries as well.
Milk
A full cream milk will obviously make it more delicious but you can just use any milk that you use regularly. I have used Hersheys Strawberry Milk for this recipe.
