The Magical Ingredients for a Wholesome Life From the Heart of my Home: Apple Cider Milk Tea With Boba and Caramel Apple

This is a delicious and refreshing iced tea with flavors of caramel apple pie, apple cider, black tea, and a little of cheesecake. And of course boba! This is an amazing fall flavored iced tea!

This post is sponsored by Melissa's Produce, Taylor and Colledge, Dixie Crystal and Republic of Tea as a part of #FallFlavors. I received samples that I used in creating recipes and the opinions expressed are my own.

Dixie Crystal sponsored us super quality sugar for recipes shared this week. I have used this to make the caramel apple dip filling, the recipe for which I have shared in Fall Charcuterie Board post and used the same to add to the caramel apple flavor. The cream cheese caramel whip, adds a cheesecae flavor. I have used black tea a little in this recipe as the spices in apple cider tea bags #sponsored by Republic of Tea pairs great with black tea.

Caramel apples, cream cheese whip, apple cider, black tea, and boba make this is a unique kind of refreshing drink! It is like having caramel apple pie and cheesecake flavors in iced tea! We love both these desserts and this is a perfect one for the season. We love boba teas, and these desserts and this tea is a win-win for us! Totally delicious and refreshing!

I have used mini boba. Any boba can be used. Cook the boba according package directions and keep them in simple syrup. I made simple syrup using Dixie Crystals pure cane sugar. Fiji apples from Melissa's Produce tasted great in the Caramel Apple Pie Dip.

If you are a boba tea lover, try Litchi Black Tea that is made using the fruit. It has an amazing taste. Wintermelon Iced Tea with jasmine tea is another refreshing drink that is a favorite of ours. Since are a boba fa, we love the Brown Sugar Boba Cream Pie. Try this for a dessert and you'll make it more often.
