There are three kinds of people: 1) people who don’t care for milk tea; 2) people who love milk tea; and people who LOVE milk tea. If you belong to the latter group, the good news is you don’t have to stick with your go-to order to get your milk tea fix. In fact, you don’t even need to enjoy your milk tea in its usual liquid form to satisfy your cravings! Here are some amazing milk tea-flavored desserts and snacks that you should definitely try.

X.O. Milk Tea
Yup, your favorite coffee candy now comes in a milk tea flavor. It’s got that sweet wintermelon and cream taste you know love, and the best part is you can basically enjoy it anytime, anywhere, for just P1 a piece! Look for it at supermarkets, your local sari-sari store, or at URC’s official Lazada and Shopee store.
Bubble Tea Cake from NBC Baking School and Cake Decorating
The recipe was created by Hannah herself. “The cake has four layers,” she says. A wintermelon cake, modified rock salt and cheese, a milk tea float, and pearls! The cake comes refrigerated in a tin can, with the pearls all in a separate container. It’s best enjoyed when you pop it into the refrigerator before eating it (but not with the pearls! The pearls stay outside to be added once you’re ready to eat the cake).
