Instructions

Assemble:
- Divide the cooked boba between two large glasses.
- Pour the mango mixture over the boba.
Garnish and Serve:

- Add diced mango on top, optional.
- Add wide boba straws and serve immediately, while the drink is cold.
Notes
To store boba: Cooked boba is best used right away, but you can keep the pearls in a bit of syrup at room temperature for up to 4 hours. After that, they start to lose their chewy texture.
To prep ahead: Mix the mango nectar and milk in advance and keep it chilled. Cook the boba just before serving for the best results.
