Brown sugar boba soy milk(黑糖珍珠豆奶 / 烏糖真珠豆奶 oo thng tsin tsu tau ni) is a variation of the classic boba milk tea(珍珠奶茶 tsin tsu ni te) from Taiwanese cuisine.
Boba, or pearls(珍珠 tsin tsu), are made from tapioca starch or other starch powder. Once cooked, they can be served hot or cold. Warm pearls and brown sugar syrup contrast nicely with chilled soy milk, while cold pearls with soy milk make for a refreshing beverage. Ice can also be added.
Boba milk tea is commonly served in a sealed plastic cup with a wide straw.
