The most common type of milk used in bubble tea is whole milk or full-cream milk. Due to their higher fat content, they give milk tea a nice creamy and silky texture. Skimmed milk will also work, but it will yield less creamy boba.  Plant-based milk alternatives are another great option. Some of the most popular choices include soy, oat, and almond milk. Hence, this drink can be enjoyed by those who can’t have dairy or are vegan.
