milk tea
Bubble drink base
Milk tea is tea mixed with milk, sometimes sweetened.
The term covers a range of drinks: British-style tea with a splash of milk, Hong Kong–style milk tea made with evaporated or condensed milk, and Taiwanese bubble tea (boba) with chewy tapioca pearls.
I'm craving milk tea with extra boba.
