@DarkHeaven It's often not a tea, think of it more like a really thin smoothie with the big chewy tapioca balls in it. Which is a horrifying thought but they're really lovely.
@DarkHeaven I’ve never heard of orange julius, what’s that ? It’s more of too milky for me than too sweet. I like the strong tea flavor and it sparingly but I honestly can’t even drink a full cup of it after a while the milky flavor gets to me when it comes to bubble tea. 🤢 it’s still good though. Lol
@Stark Apparently so!
“When was the first smoothie made?
Smoothies aren’t an American invention. They go back centuries to cultures around the world, and then to South America as a “fruit slush”. But it’s safe to say that the American smoothies, a pureed fruit drink, began in the early 1920’s when Julius Freed, another young man with a sensitive stomach, began looking for a way to enjoy fresh squeezed orange juice. His stomach couldn’t handle the acidity of fresh squeezed oranges, so he found a way and a few choice ingredients to make them less acidic and a little frothy. His friends loved them and said, “Give me an orange, Julius”, and thus his store, the “Orange Julius” was born.”
