What’s in your cup?

A companion thread to What's on your plate? 

I thought it would fun to share what we’re all drinking. It could be your favourite tea or show of your crowd pleasing cocktail recipes. What’s in your cup?

Right now, I’m enjoying a nice cup of ginger peach tea with milk and honey. It’s nice and calming before bed.

And shout out to the original thread  I kinda found out too late about this and it’s been far too long since it was updated.

@sister13 omg. This is going to make me relapse into my boba addiction....

[blackkitty2014]

Oh soo refreshing @JoSometimes 👌

[JoSometimes]

Thanks @blackkitty2014! It was very refreshing.

@JoSometimes Sounds like a productive day with a well deserved drink!

[JoSometimes]

Definitely @Mellmars1185! It was a long day but I did accomplish quite a bit.

@JoSometimes @We have Kung Fu tea here too. 

[JoSometimes]

@SportyGirly125 I remember at the start of the pandemic, the tapioca pearl supply chain was affected and boba shops started pushing other toppings. Kung Fu tea was the only one nearby that offered agar jelly. I almost prefer it over boba. Almost.

[SportyGirly125]

@JoSometimes Same. I remember the shortage 😞

[SportyGirly125]

@JoSometimes Yummy. Love agar when you don’t want boba sometimes.

@JoSometimes looks very refreshing 

[JoSometimes]

It really was @CorgiMommy! I wasn’t sure what to order for myself and asked the barista for her recommendation. It was a good choice.

[JoSometimes]

Looking forward to it @Mellmars1185! 🍹🍷☕️🥤

I went to a new tea place nearish to me the other day. I love a regular iced black milk tea with boba. This tasted fine and the boba were the perfect consistency but too large for the straw and/or stuck together, so it was really annoying trying to drink it and literally hurt my mouth trying to suck up the boba. I eventually had to take the straw out and drink it from the cup, which is no fun. Now, I can’t find the cup pic, but here was inside. I have a couple other places that do a nice boba every time, so I don’t think I’d go back here.

@sister13 this happens to me sometimes and I definitely feel barbaric when I'm drinking boba without a straw 🤣

[sister13]

Haha, yes! SO uncivilized! @jaaayp 

[blackkitty2014]

Ugh I hate that @sister13 . They need to sell popped boba 🥰

[sister13]

I know, so annoying and oddly stressful when you’re trying to enjoy a tea! I even cut my lip trying to suck the straw from the pointy end to free the boba, lol! @blackkitty2014 

[SportyGirly125]

@sister13 Awww so sad to hear about your drink. That’s always a bummer when you can’t drink boba through the straw. 

[sister13]

@SportyGirly125 @JoSometimes ashes, it’s happened other places (or the ones where the boba is hard), you wouldn’t realize it could be so hard to get all the components right!

[SportyGirly125]

@sister13 @JoSometimes @@Hard bobas are the worst.
