For a milk tea addict, this is probably the longest I’ve gone without milk tea. I’ve tried different ways to make milk tea for myself and it’s good enough for me to satisfy my craving, but it’s still not quite like my favorites. It’s difficult to recreate different flavors, and I don’t want to waste ingredients trying to experiment.

Thankfully, different stores are now open for delivery through various food delivery apps! Here are popular milk tea brands that are operating now and how you can order from them.
