I like how the op was trying to inform us of how unhealthy bubble milk tea is and we ended up thinking of ways of making it more unhealthy. I’ve been doing this for years. I love milk tea, I’m surprised this isn’t a thing. Milk tea with or without the bubbles really just go well with vodka. ---

Vodka is Russian, or perceived as Russian. So, to make a “White Chinese” wouldn’t it have to be a Chinese whiskey of some sort? Just my take. ---

[quote]Except for green tea, which, unfortunately, tastes like freshly mowed lawn. [/quote] Finally an apt description of green tea. A pity most Taiwanese never experienced a freshly mowed lawn, hence they don’t know what they are drinking. ---

Don’t know why. But, I only like milk tea from Hong Kong. High sugar levels are not good in anything. Even you eat a candy, it is unhealthy. The best thing to do is trying these things once in a while and work out. ---

Now we know thanks to the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) “However, most tapioca jellies on the market are laced with food additives, and many so-called brown sugar tapioca jellies are really made with caramel, he said.” “…chemical compounds in tapioca jellies, such as those used in bubble tea.” [Previous page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/bubble-tea-might-actually-be-really-bad-for-you/162876.md?page=1) [Next page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/bubble-tea-might-actually-be-really-bad-for-you/162876.md?page=3)
