Definition of boba- in case you don't know what Boba is!
: BUBBLE TEA

Usually when you find something solid and chewy in your drink, it's time to call for the waiter. But that's what boba drinks are all about. They're a concoction of either tea or juice combined with milk, fruit syrup, ice and?the surprise?small marbles of tapioca. More than one person has likened drinking boba to finding a Gummi Bear in your smoothie. But these drinks, in flavors like sour plum and kumquat-lemon and sipped through an extra-wide straw, are the latest fad beverage on the West Coast.

Open to current or alumni Elemental Music students only. Location to meet will be emailed to the winner.
