Notes

As a sweetener for the matcha milk tea recipe, I mix it with the green tea powder of the matcha. Here are a few of my favorite sweeteners for me and my husband.

maple syrup
dark brown sugar
cane sugar
coconut sugar

You can buy dry boba which needs to be cooked, I've only bought the one in liquid.
