Another great tip would be to first lightly toast the brown sugar in a saucepan to get that distinct dark caramel flavor and then add the milk base. In a separate saucepan, add half a cup of brown sugar and 1 and ½ cup of water, and bring the mixture to a simmer or until the brown sugar has dissolved. This will create the boba syrup that we will use as a base for our caramel milk tea and the boba pearls too!

Here is a paper that added stevia and sugar in a controlled diet. The stevia produced a lower glucose response post eating from a diet with supposedly the same calories/glucose content. Now you have to ask yourself, if the glucose content of the meal was the same and the meal with stevia produced less glucose in the blood stream post eating, where did the glucose go? it had to go somewhere. So does stevia produce a larger insulin response so that excess glucose is sent to the liver and then stored as fat? If your primary aim is to reduce weight then stevia might be working against you. To make the caramel runnier, we recommend that you add a bit more water. Preferably, the best water to sugar ratio is 50:50, i.e., for 1 cup of brown sugar, you will need 1 cup of water.

And I suppose nothing spells rebellion like Imitation Whipped Cream Flavored Vodka. If you don’t have any dietary restrictions then we highly recommend that you start with any full cream milk.
