@@feedmeimei I love how your mom part takes in videos with you. it was super funny when meimei was ordering both times at Starbucks and her mom was sleeping casually even after drinking caffeine
I tried starbucks matcha with brown sugar syrup thanks to your last video! I got it topped with salted foam and it was perfect! Definitely hit that boba tea shop craving!
Suggestions from a Starbucks barista: 1. Ice matcha latte made with oat milk, brown sugar syrup, and vanilla sweet cream cold foam 2. Iced black tea with no water, heavy cream (also good with oat milk) two pumps of white mocha (1 pump for tall or grande), brown sugar syrup, vanilla sweet cream cold foam, and extra caramel drizzle (optional)
After watching this vid I came up with a brown sugar milk tea recipe i hope works, but I haven’t tried it yet. If I do, I’ll leave an update here. But first here’s the recipe: Iced Royal English Breakfast Latte (obv): •grande •milk of your choice •No cane sugar (sub for the upcoming syrups) •Salted Caramel Cream Cold Foam •No water •2 pumps brown sugar syrup •LIGHT ice (important) •3 tea bags (the more the better, because this is why the drinks here didn’t taste strong enough. Standard for a grande is 2 bags) •5 pumps dark caramel sauce (more is better than less since this sauce is not as sweet as other ones)
Don't tell your mom that you're causing your viewers to lose arms and legs too because we're going to the boba shops and Starbucks to buy all the drinks you like.
The brown sugar pump at Starbucks is a half pump. It's not that much sugar. You can ask for double the pumps so it's sweeter because 2 pumps is really only 1 pump for the teas.
I love how your mom part takes in videos with you. it was super funny when meimei was ordering both times at Starbucks and her mom was sleeping casually even after drinking caffeine.
also for brown sugar you might not be tasting it as much bc our brown sugar pump is half the size of the other liquid syrups!! i think bc its sweeter so they make the pump smaller for that one but i would suggest increasing the amt of pumps, maybe double it
I watched 5 of your videos today so I grabbed my mom and went to get milk tea. And I added egg pudding which I’ve never done but it made the Caramel milk tea so delicious! Thank you for making my day amazing!
So all of our iced teas (passion, black and green) are diluted from the get-go. They are made in 2-liter pitchers so that they last longer. Then when you get them in drinks they are diluted further unless you ask for no water. If you want the strongest tea flavor, your best bet would be to ask for any of our hot teas iced. Jade citrus mint, earl grey, mint majesty, Royal English breakfast, etc. so you can try them at their most concentrated and undiluted flavor. Also, though, go inside if possible when doing so since steeping generally takes five minutes before teas are transferred to cold cups and ice is then put in.
To get the milk tea flavor the tea needs to be very strong and add a lot of sugar. We try to make milk tea at home and the tea is never strong enough b
Starbucks uses oatly batista edition oatmilk. I love it and use it to make my own coffee at home. Maybe some Starbucks are using different oatmilks because of shortages.
Starbucks employee here: the reason most of the drinks taste watery is because starbucks teas are steeped in water, while milk teas are steeped in hot milk. Usually, if someone is ordering say an iced black tea, the barista would shake the black tea (steeped in water) with more water and ice. So by asking to not add water is just to not add the extra water, but the tea base itself is still water. That's probably why the London Fog tasted closest to a milk tea, since the recipe is to steep the earl grey tea bags in a combo of water and milk.
The green tea at Starbucks is tazo branded green tea which I think has mint in it. I'm not a big fan and definitely not the same as Jasmine. I'll be trying the London Fog one today at the first Starbucks at Pike's Place.
I cannot believe no one told you to get sweet cream instead of soy milk😭😭😭. The CLOSEST I've gotten is an unsweetened iced black tea, no water, sub extra sweet cream, and brown sugar syrup. I know you've tried so many now but you've gotta try again with sweet cream!!!
😂. People that work at Starbucks are stronger than me😂. I’m a nurse and have performed life saving procedures but the thought of working at Starbucks FREAKS me out 😭😭!! 😂
how can you put up with the caffeine? but "why you are making faces? it should be soooo good! " is perfect Meimei! your mum's iconic and signature comment! (love it!!! )
Lol my little sister came in to watch this over my shoulder and her comments are that you are very pretty and that your mum reminds her of our grandmother because they have the same hair
Thanks for trying my suggestion! 16 pumps is excessive. 😅 You can ask for 8 pumps and it will taste the same if they are "full pumps." They usually pump the syrups fast so it's really 16 "half pumps" which is equivalent to 8 "full pumps."
personally i recommend getting the tea bag teas and ask for them iced as opposed to the iced teas!! bc the tea bag ones u can ask them to brew w more or less water but when we make the ice teas in the morning theyre steeped then and its very little tea leaf to water ratio :(
The reason slot of the drinks weren’t sweet enough is because all grande drinks come with 4 pumps of syrups and a lot of those recipes only had 2 pumps. Also the brown sugar syrup comes in 1/2 pump doses so you need to double the quantity to really taste it . I agree the London fog with the sweet cream vanilla cold foam is the best recipe and actually taste like milk tea!!! And at Starbucks we use oatley i don’t see the cardboard flavor however i think oat milk is over powering and all you taste is the milk in whatever drink it’s in
I used to get iced London Fogs before I even knew milk tea was a thing... but I can tell you most baristas seemed to hate me for it. *insert nervous laughter here*
I love meimei's energy and her mom is a whole mood and i love it
hehe aw tysm!! love u!!
I loved when she was sleeping while meimei was ordering
LOL I literally had no idea until I was editing the footage 😂
@@feedmeimei I love how your mom part takes in videos with you. it was super funny when meimei was ordering both times at Starbucks and her mom was sleeping casually even after drinking caffeine

I’m a Starbucks Barista and I love our Oatmilk😭 it’s the Oatly Barista Edition
yes! the cardboard-y flavor probably comes from the packaging!
You guys need to try a Venti iced matcha latte shaken with two pumps of raspberry syrup and two pumps of toffee nut syrup!! Tastes like boba 🤤
Don't tell your mom that you're causing your viewers to lose arms and legs too because we're going to the boba shops and Starbucks to buy all the drinks you like.
Laughing at your mom's reaction to the one that's supposed to be taro milk. xD
LOLLLL she said ✨seafood✨
Love your videos keep up with the amazing work mei mei
Absolutely adore the mom-daughter duo! 💞
My all time fave is the London fog latte. Doesn’t taste like milk tea but satisfies my palette. Love your videos!

Ahhh my cousin made a drink that makes me crave boba all the time it’s
- chai tea
- 2 shots of brow syrup
- cinnamon syrup
I love how your mom part takes in videos with you. it was super funny when meimei was ordering both times at Starbucks and her mom was sleeping casually even after drinking caffeine.

I’m a new subscriber and I’ve been obsessed with your videossss. There just so fun to watchhhh
I work at Starbucks and normally we had oatly oat milk but there were shortages and now we just use whatever we can get
5:33 ✨heyy😏✨

ahhhh i'm latee buttt ur mom is iconiccc love ur vids with her!

You and your mom make us laugh!!!! Looking more like twins than mom/daughter👭
omg you should definitely try a matcha latte with oatmilk and 4 pumps of brown sugar syrup! less ice
I might try this since I already like the matcha latte 👀
You & are your mother are SO sweet! 🥰
YOURE VIDEOS MAKE ME SO HAPPY THANK YOU
My favorite milk tea hack is vente black iced tea with 3-4 pumps of vanilla and add half & half ♡
definitely gonna order the one with 16 pumps :)
ur mom is so funny!She is a Mood!I love the part when she is sleeping while meimei is ordering the long complicated orders!LOL😆
The green tea at Starbucks is tazo branded green tea which I think has mint in it. I'm not a big fan and definitely not the same as Jasmine. I'll be trying the London Fog one today at the first Starbucks at Pike's Place.
OMG I MISS PIKE'S PLACE SO MUCH
@@feedmeimei it ended up being so good but the line was so long 😂
It should be so goOod 😂😂✨ ur mom is so funny haha 💕💕💕
this is a great video concept!!! your mom is the cutest! you’ve gained a sub
Starbucks black tea has never been strong enough. Even getting it without water or on it's own, it just tastes like water.
I cannot believe no one told you to get sweet cream instead of soy milk😭😭😭. The CLOSEST I've gotten is an unsweetened iced black tea, no water, sub extra sweet cream, and brown sugar syrup. I know you've tried so many now but you've gotta try again with sweet cream!!!
lol breve has half and half, so it’s a bit creamier. Two pumps Isn’t that much, so I understand why it wasn’t quite there
I’ve seen tons of new boba spots open up in the Bay Area specifically SF! Can you do a video on new boba spots?!!
Awhhh she looks so proud! Btw I love your videos 😊
People who make personal drinks at Starbucks are stronger than me 😩
😂. People that work at Starbucks are stronger than me😂. I’m a nurse and have performed life saving procedures but the thought of working at Starbucks FREAKS me out 😭😭!! 😂
how can you put up with the caffeine?
but "why you are making faces? it should be soooo good! " is perfect Meimei! your mum's iconic and signature comment! (love it!!! )
Try a grande iced black tea with no water, brown sugar syrup, and sweet cream!! Tastes exactly like milk tea!
“wow very watered down”
LOL the way your mom said this was funny 😆
This vid is making me want some boba🤧😖
I hope your suds be so many I always like your post I love feed meimei ❤
As always enjoy seeing your mom in your videos
i'm glad! thanks for watching 💕💕
I love your videos especially when your mum is with in it❤️🥰
I do a Venti Iced Green Tea Latte with 9 scoops of matcha and 6 pumps of brown sugar syrup for a Matcha Tiger boba.
Yes MOM IS HERE!!!! Love these videos their the Best!!!!
a recommendation i have is order and iced matcha latte with 3 pumps of brown sugar and the salted cap
i like to get green frap with oreo in it.
do a black tea no water sub cream with vsc cold foam 3 pumps vanilla ( with brown sugar syrup in the foam)
I started watching your videos 2 weeks ago and I love your videos
Thank you so much for using my hack
Lol my little sister came in to watch this over my shoulder and her comments are that you are very pretty and that your mum reminds her of our grandmother because they have the same hair
Black tea, plus 5 pumps brown sugar - and get me right here.. listen closely. Add. MILK. Ya get me?
Hey meimei😊 I just wanted to ask what do you do with the leftover drinks?
Vanilla bean frap looks like a No go!
I recommend a wintermelon with freshmilk honey and boba its really good
we usually use oatly oatmilk but some stores may just use whatever is at the grocery store if they run out!!
Wait wait grande black tea w no water? Why would they add more water to the tea?
The black tea is brewed concentrated, water is added so it’s not as bitter/strong.
The why you making faces? It should be so good again always gets me
lol also, thank you for ordering the drinks at different star bucks because knwoing from a barista perspective that’s A LOTTTT lol.
omgg i love your mom. shes so adorable and funny💗💗

✨Boba 🧋 is life✨💖
personally i recommend getting the tea bag teas and ask for them iced as opposed to the iced teas!! bc the tea bag ones u can ask them to brew w more or less water but when we make the ice teas in the morning theyre steeped then and its very little tea leaf to water ratio :(
LMAOOOO 😂😂 your mom sleeping when you’re ordering love y’all. New subscriber here!!

For a stronger tea taste, order the black tea hot since the iced black tea is made with our English breakfast tea
it was funny when meimei’s mom was sleeping when meimei was ordering but I still love the video
I love your mom 😂😂
I used to get iced London Fogs before I even knew milk tea was a thing... but I can tell you most baristas seemed to hate me for it. *insert nervous laughter here*
PLS I WAS HOOKED FROM THE WHY U MAKING FACES IT SHOULD BE SO GOOD
I love caramel but I found Starbuck's "caramel" tastes like butterscotch
Starbucks Match pineapple tea is really nice
I order the matcha w peppermint abs vanilla alllll the time. It’s my fav!
"when i'm getting sleep, i can't read anything"... same
