Step into a fairy-tale night with this dreamy Enchanted Moonlight Milk Tea. Inspired by glowing moonlit skies, this lavender-vanilla milk tea is lightly sweet, creamy, and just magical enough to transport your taste buds to another realm. A swirl of purple boba and a dusting of edible glitter make this drink feel like something straight out of a storybook.

The Ingredients

• 2 black tea bags (or 2 tsp loose leaf)
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 tbsp dried lavender (optional for floral notes)
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 cup milk
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup cooked purple sweet potato boba or black tapioca pearls (optional)
• Ice cubes
• Edible glitter or star sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
• Cold Foam (optional)

Directions

1. Brew the Tea Base:

Steep the black tea bags and dried lavender in 1 cup of hot water for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and strain lavender. Stir in honey or sugar until dissolved. Let cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Magic Mix:

In a shaker or mason jar, combine brewed tea, milk, and vanilla extract. Shake or stir well until frothy.

3. Assemble the Potion:

Spoon the cooked boba pearls into the bottom of a tall glass. Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour the milk tea mixture over the top.

4. Add a Sprinkle of Enchantment:

Top with cold foam then dust with a pinch of edible glitter, edible pearls, or scatter a few star sprinkles on top for a celestial touch.

5. Sip & Dream:

Insert a wide straw, give it a swirl, and sip your way into a moonlit fantasy!

Tips for Making Your Drink Magical

For an extra magical look, blend a small amount of purple sweet potato powder or butterfly pea flower tea into the milk to give your drink a dreamy violet hue. Edible glitter, pearls, and magical sprinkles can help make any drink look magical. Add cold foam below your glitter, pearls, or sprinkles to help them stand out on top.
