Bubble Tea

I'm a sucker for bubble tea (no pun intended!); I don't get around it often, but when I do it's a food orgy. So I looked it up, to see whether it's veg*n.

1. Tapioca pearls (bubbles) are vegan: made from starch.

2. The drink itself may or may not contain dairy ingredients. It is pretty clear that the milk tea is not vegan, although sometimes a non-dairy creamer can be used (still not necessarily vegan). More confusing when it is just tea or fruit juice, since sometimes they are made from mixes and you pretty much never know whats in them.

3. Jellies that are used instead of/along with tapioca appear to be vegan, at least I came across no information on their unveg*ness. No mentions of gelatin either.
