Starbucks aficionados, brace yourselves: boba is now on the menu! When it comes to quenching your thirst during the summer months, few things beat the refreshing burst of flavor that boba brings. While bubble tea shops have been on the rise, making it easier to indulge, Starbucks is stepping up its game this summer by introducing boba across its U.S. locations.
The coffee giant is rolling out three new beverages as part of its summer menu, promising delightful new flavors and vibrant colors to brighten up your day.
Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher
First up, we have the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher, boasting a fusion of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors, all shaken with ice and topped with a layer of popping raspberry-flavored pearls.
Summer-Berry Lemonade Starbucks Refresher
Next in line is the Summer-Berry Lemonade Starbucks Refresher, blending the Summer-Berry Refresher with ice and lemonade before being adorned with a layer of raspberry pearls.
Summer Skies Drink
Last but certainly not least, we have the visually stunning Summer Skies Drink, perfect for those opting for a dairy-free option. This beverage features Starbucks’ new blue Summer-Berry Refresher coconut milk poured over ice and accompanied by popping raspberry-flavored pearls, delivering an extra burst of flavor.
While indulging in these exciting new offerings from Starbucks is tempting, frequent visits can quickly dent your wallet. To complement your Starbucks fix, why not experiment with making boba at home this summer? Amazon offers a range of boba tea kits capable of creating up to 10 servings, allowing you to craft various fruit and milk tea flavors with boba-inspired tapioca pearls for yourself, friends, and family.
Craft Your Own Boba-Inspired Drinks at Home
With Joyba, the process couldn’t be simpler—you don’t even need to brew your own tea. Each kit comes with pre-sealed, 12-ounce cups filled with your chosen tea flavor. Simply remove the straw, puncture the lid on the boba cup, and savor your drink. While the kit includes strawberry lemonade green tea, an array of other flavors awaits your exploration.
