How long can bubble tea stay in the fridge? Bubble tea can stay in the fridge for at least 24 hours and we strongly recommend you consume all of the tea within this time. Whilst consuming after 24 hours is unlikely to cause any health risk, the tea may well have lost much of its flavour by this point.

“Personally, I am a fan of the classic milk tea with boba, but it certainly pairs well with other flavors, [such as] ube, strawberry, lychee, mango, [and] matcha,” said Lu. “My favorite part about boba isn't the taste though, it's the texture. There is something so fun about the chewiness of it.”

It's perfectly OK to enjoy boba tea in moderation. Try asking for fewer tapioca pearls and sweeteners to reduce your added sugar intake.

After cooking the tapioca pearls, put them in a container and coat with sugar or sugar syrup. This should be kept at room temperature or a bit warmer, but do not put in the refrigerator or freezer. The cooked tapioca pearls should be consumed within 8-10 hours.
