Lavender Milk Tea - The Floral Boba Drink

Lavender Bubble Tea

Lavender milk tea is one of my personal favorites. The smell of it is sweet, while the taste is mild and floral. The color is the same as the plant, with a light luminous purple. If someone is looking for a boba drink that has a pleasant scent during consumption, then this is it. This guide will cover the exact ingredients needed for making a lavender milk tea at home,, or as a barista at a boba shop. Lavender is known as a freshener for clothes and cleaning products, but it can be eaten too (not the cleaning product, the Lavender of course). There are plenty of flowers, including the rose, that can be consumed just how they are, though people typically prefer them for visual effects and aroma.

The mix to make the lavender milk tea is available here for purchase:

 

4 tablespoons per 8 ounces of water, milk, or tea works just fine for the taste. Everyone has their own personal preference, but I found that this works well. The mix already contains the milk tea, so it really only needs to be mixed with water, but steeping black tea and mixing it with it, tastes great. The mix already contains the black tea in it, just like the milk tea mix. It is very easy and quick to make, and tastes just like the boba shops (probably because it is the same mix). The price of the mix is really a bargain, since it already contains everything in it.

You can view a list of the bubble tea flavors mentioned above. The butterfly pea flower and jasmine green tea also have pleasant aromas. Lavender is a herb, which means that it provides various health benefits when consumed. Lavender tea is said to help calm the nerves and reduce the risk of disease. Most teas have various health benefits; no surprise that herbs do too.

The tea combinations with the most health benefits would be the lavender combined with the jasmine green tea flavor. Green tea has always been known for a wide variety of health benefits, and so have jasmine flowers. The matcha is good too (not just the taste) for making healthy bubble teas, but it contains more caffeine than regular green tea. This is worth noting if this is being consumed to calm the nerves.

Besides the health benefits, for great taste the matcha, oolong, jasmine green tea would be the best picks. Here are the tea leaves for the bubble tea.

To make the lavender milk tea with the tea leaves, just simply steep them, and use the tea as a base for your lavender boba (take the powder and add it to the tea).
