Notes
You can use condensed milk for a thick creamy rich version in that case skip the sugar syrup.
Use fresh thick full fat milk else the drink will be become very watery. Always boil the milk chill it then use it.
There are many ways to cook boba like in the pack it said to cook just 5-6 mins then set aside for an hour then use it. But this method of cooking it for 20 mins is perfect as we get chewy yet slightly soft boba.
After assembling serve it immediately.
