Bubble tea, or pearl milk tea, is a beverage produced using black, green or white tea or milk base, chewy tapioca balls, or boba, and fruit jelly. The tea is glazed with soft and chewy tapioca pearls, which are extracted from the cassava root. It is available in various flavors, such as lychee, taro, passion fruit, mango, peach, coffee, strawberry and chocolate. It is served in both hot and cold forms with ice usually blended into the mixture, thus creating a smooth or slushy drink, which is consumed with a straw. Bubble tea is a rich source of vitamin C, antioxidants and caffeine, that aid in strengthening the immune system, boosting energy, reducing inflammation and improving cardiovascular health.
