milk tea has become one of the most popular drinks at present, and the milk tea market is full of secret warfare.
Although tea has a history of more than a thousand years in China, milk tea actually comes from Britain and the United States. So how do you drink milk tea in Britain and the United States? How to order milk tea?
According to the historical records of Britain and Holland, milk tea first appeared near the Himalayan region of India.
However, tea is not produced in these areas, and tea is imported from abroad. In the process of commodity trade, the drinking method of milk tea has spread all over the world.
In Britain, it is a custom to have afternoon tea. Their milk tea is very simple, that is, tea+milk, so they call it "milk? Tea "
But in the United States, it is also milk tea, because the practice of milk tea in the United States is different, so the name is different.
for example, it is called "boba tea" in the western United States, which transliterates as "Boba milk tea".
Young people in the eastern United States call milk tea "bubble tea". "Bubble" means bubble, which refers to the "milk tea bubble" hanging at the top of milk tea, and also refers to milk tea.
so we usually call milk tea bubble tea, which is the common Boba milk tea in the market, referring to milk tea with ingredients such as pearls.
Bubble here means "bubble, foam"
But if it is a simple milk tea with tea and milk, you can also call it "milk tea" directly.
We usually order milk tea, which is usually "ice-removed+three-thirds sugar+a portion of Boba". Of course, there will be thousands of combinations of milk tea for different people.
