You know, I didn't even think about that and should mention that to my daughter since it runs on both sides of our family!!

We hope to try the drink at Animal Kingdom, and figure this kit might work for that too?
If they hadn't gone out with their friend and tried it then...I still wouldn't know what they were!
Oh, and I would have to look closely at the ingredients to see if it is REAL sugar or artificial. Since artificial will make me very sick!

When things open back up, I can send you milk tea drink packets for you to make at home. That's what I like, the milk tea!
Yeah, you'll have to ask when you try them at AK so you don't get sick!!

I am conscious of the sugar content, too. So i tried making my own low-carb version using coffee jelly, black tea bag and cashew milk sweetened with erythritol and stevia. Tastes good  |
They are amazing (the popping bubbles)
Interesting! I'll run the low-carb past my daughter and see if she'll try them. She's a little lactose intolerant so might like a different alternative to her everyday bobas
