One of our favorite places we frequently visit is 1+1 Restaurant and Tea. It is a local shop just a block away from the Iowa State campus that serves bubble tea and delicious food. Some of the best hangouts include spontaneous boba runs. It is a nice way for us to connect outside of chapter and events where we simply get to talk about life and enjoy each other's company. With that being said, I wanted to know what some of my Sxsters' favorite drinks were, so I asked around and got their responses.

"Ok, but... Winter melon Japanese roasted milk tea with grass jelly hits different."

"My usual is Japanese roasted milk tea with honey pearl. Though... During my exchange to University of Montana, the campus had a cute shop called Pearl Boba Tea. They made delicious boba that I will never forget."

"I usually get the oolong milk tea."

"Boba!!! I usually go for a flavored fruit tea. The first one I picked out was rose flavoring with rainbow jellies. It's been solidified as my go too! Or the other boba drink I'll go for is a variant of the rose flavor to lavender. Tea type doesn't matter too much for me but rainbow jellies my love ~Or~ oolong crema w rainbow jelly."
