Winter Warmer

Time to switch it up!  Who says bubble tea has to be served cold?  On these chilly winter days, why not get cosy and treat yourself to a hot bubble tea? It’s super simple like the usual recipe but no ice, more water and you get to top it with lashings of whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles!

Ingredients

– Assam Black Tea
– Mocha Milk Powder
– Chocolate Bubbles
