Notes
We have provided the recipe for Iced Coffee Concentrate for convenience but the time for the Iced Boba Coffee recipe assumes that you already have Iced Coffee Concentrate on hand.
Ice Coffee Concentrate can be stored for up to a week in the fridge.
Boba is best when used within a few hours but can be stored in the cooking liquid or simple syrup in the fridge for a few days.
Use BIG straws. You will need straws that are large enough for the boba to pass through.
