How to Store Strawberry Boba Milk Tea
It’s best to consume Strawberry Boba Milk Tea immediately for the best flavor and texture. However, if you have leftovers, store the tea mixture (without the boba) in the fridge for up to a day. Keep in mind that the boba may become mushy if stored, so it’s better to make the boba fresh when you’re ready to enjoy your drink again.
