Cinderella Milk Tea
Source: Chef Elton Keung, Boba 7, Los Angeles
Bubble tea is trending at Boba 7, where chef Keung incorporates chewy tapioca pearls, or “boba,” into drinks. This version is a milky tea, but Keung also creates boozy boba cocktails. The boba can be made from scratch by cooking tapioca flour in water, but they also are available ready-made from Asian product suppliers.
