Is Boba Tea a Milk?

Published in Beverages 1 min read

No, boba tea is not inherently a milk.

Here's a breakdown:

  • What is Boba Tea? Boba tea, also known as bubble tea, is a tea-based drink that often contains tapioca pearls ("boba"). It can be made with or without milk.

  • Milk Tea vs. Boba Tea: Milk tea is specifically tea combined with milk or a milk substitute (creamer). Boba tea is a broader term encompassing any tea-based drink with boba, including milk tea versions. You can have boba tea without any milk added.

  • Ingredients Variation: Boba tea can be made with black tea, green tea, or other tea varieties. It can also include flavorings, sweeteners, and toppings other than boba. The presence of milk depends on the specific recipe.

  • In summary: While boba tea can contain milk (making it a type of milk tea with boba), it is not always made with milk. Therefore, boba tea is not inherently a milk itself, but rather a category of tea drinks that may or may not include milk.
