Strawberry Passion Fruit Milk Tea Recipe

No Comments

This recipe is sponsored by Torani, and all thoughts and opinions here are my own.

Spring is here and it’s time for milk tea! Considering the days have begun to warm, I’m opting for yummy milk tea recipes on ice. Whether you’re addicted to Bubble Tea, currently sipping on a Thai Tea or still haven’t put your Dalgona tea down, April is the month to indulge in this delightfully refreshing treat because April 30th just happens to be National Bubble Tea Day!

This Strawberry Passion Fruit Milk Tea is slightly tart with a tropical tang, offset by a creamy sweet tea.  Boba optional, but highly recommended.  This recipe shines because of Torani Puremade Syrups – made with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no artificial preservatives and are GMO Free.

Please excuse the bad photo! Will update next time.
