Hide your wallets: Starbucks has boba now
When it comes to summer beverages, there’s just about nothing more refreshing than boba . And while bubble tea shops have been steadily gaining in popularity and becoming easier and easier to find, this summer, you’ll be able to get boba anywhere across the U.S. — because Starbucks just added it to the menu.
There’s the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher, which features a blend of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and poured over a layer of popping raspberry-flavored pearls.
Then there’s the Summer-Berry Lemonade Starbucks Refresher, which combines a Summer-Berry Refresher with ice and lemonade, which is then poured over a layer of raspberry pearls.
Finally, there’s the gorgeous Summer Skies Drink (which is nondairy!). It features Starbucks’ brand new blue Summer-Berry Refreshers coconutmilk poured over ice and popping raspberry-flavored pearls for an extra burst of flavor.
While we’ll definitely be trying all these new drinks, Starbucks runs can quickly add up. So why not also try making boba at home this summer? Amazon is stocked with boba tea kits that make up to 10 servings, so you can make different flavors of fruit and milk tea with boba-inspired tapioca pearls for yourself and your friends and family to try.
With Joyba, you don’t even have to make your own tea — it ships right to you in sealed, 12-ounce cups. You just remove the straw, use the pointed end to puncture the lid on the boba cup and enjoy your drinks. This kit comes with strawberry lemonade green tea, but several other flavors are available.
Make eight drinks with this at-home kit, which comes with classic, matcha, Thai, and vanilla tea flavors, brown sugar pearls, boba sachets and paper straws. You can even enjoy your drinks hot or iced.
This kit, which includes six servings, includes syrup to decorate your cups. Each kit includes three tea flavors, boba, syrup, straws, cups, rainbow sprinkles and a stirrer.
This value pack comes with 10 servings of both fruit and milk tea, plus instant boba packets to add to each drink. Flavors include classic milk tea, taro, passionfruit pineapple green tea and more — and extra-wide straws are also included.
Get five packets of instant bubble tea in this kit, which comes in flavors like taro and brown sugar milk tea. The Fruity Mix variety pack is perfect for summer, with a mix of refreshing fruit teas. Boba and straws are included.
