Vegan Chocolate Milk Tea

Despite monthly “coffee dates” on the blog, I’m not much of a coffee drinker. Tea is my sometimes-caffeinated beverage of choice. However, my “splurge” drinks are Taiwanese-style milk teas (also known as bubble tea, boba, + pearl milk tea)!

When I was growing up, my friends and I would often walk to a nearby milk tea shop and pass the time playing board games + drink milk tea while snacking on popcorn chicken.

My standard order is 30% sugar and less or no ice, usually without tapioca pearls lately (they don’t have that much nutritional value). Lately, in the interest of saving money, as drinks can now cost $4-7, I’ve been experimenting with making my own!

I recently got some cocoa powder from Divine Chocolate, and as it’s currently still Choctober week, I decided to try creating a hot + vegan Chocolate Milk Tea!

Divine Chocolate‘s baking products are all Vegan Society Certified and made with the highest quality cocoa for a delicious taste and rich consistency. They’re also the only Fairtrade chocolate company in the world that’s co-owned by cocoa farmers! <3 (Kuapa Kokoo Farmers’ Co-operative in Ghana co-owns 44%!)
