This was a month long process that took a lot of effort and heart (and time!), but it was totally worth it!! Makes me so happy knowing just how many other people also grew up with Korean banana milk, and how much it reminded them of their childhood. A big thank you to Bin & Andrew at Boba Guys for giving me this opportunity, and thank you, to Chef Deuki and our awesome photographer Ben too! Happy APAHM, everyone ❤️And let me know if you get a chance to try the drink!
