#1 Iced Americano With Brown Sugar Boba

Iced Americano is, without a doubt, one of the easiest and simplest coffee drinks to make. Basically, Americano is espresso mixed with water, so in other words, it’s watered down espresso.

Make iced Americano more creative by adding brown sugar boba. Since Americano is bitter, adding brown sugar boba is perfect. Aside from that, these pearls add texture too.

#2 Cold Brew Orange Coffee with Popping Pearls

Cold brew iced coffee is quick and easy to create with a cold brew maker. To make it unique, add orange flavor! If you have customers who enjoy drinking coffee and orange juice together at breakfast, this is the perfect beverage for them.

Level up your orange coffee by adding texture in the form of orange popping pearls. These pearls make the drink look aesthetically pleasing while adding a burst of citrus flavor to a bitter drink.

#3 Iced Vanilla Latte with Crystal Boba

Coffee and vanilla are undoubtedly a perfect pair. An ideal alternative to sugar, vanilla can add just the right sweet taste to a bitter-tasting drink. A few drops of pure vanilla extract in coffee will turn it into more of a dessert drink, without the calories and carbohydrates sugar has.

But an iced vanilla latte is so typical, right? You can make this drink unforgettable by adding crystal boba to it. Aside from the chewy texture, these pearls make the iced vanilla latte look even more pretty.

#4 Dalgona Coffee with Popping Pearls

Dalgona coffee, also known as whipped coffee of desi cappuccino, is a caffeinated drink made from instant coffee. It became viral in early 2020 at the start of the pandemic as it became a viral internet challenge on TikTok. Dalgona came from the Korean word “달구나,” which roughly translates to “it’s sweet” and is the same name as the honeycomb toffee street snack in Korea.

You can make Dalgona coffee more interesting by adding popping pearls, particularly chocolate flavor. The combination will create a lovely mocha taste that your customers won’t get enough of.

#5 Iced Strawberry Mocha with Coffee Jelly

Iced mocha is also one of the favorite caffeinated drinks loved around the world. Coffee and chocolate go well together as the bitterness and acidity of the former combine perfectly with the richness and sweetness of chocolate. 

But what if we add tartness of strawberries to mocha? We get a refreshing drink with an amazing play of flavors and textures that will leave your customers wanting more. And speaking of texture, we can add coffee jelly to the combination as well!
