The leaves are turning, pumpkin spice everything is back, and there's a crisp whisper in the air. Fall is officially here, bringing with it all the cozy vibes we crave. But who says your autumnal rituals have to be limited to hot lattes and cider? This season, it's time to elevate your cozy game with a delightful, chewy, and surprisingly versatile treat: boba tea!
