Unused Boba Tea? Make Waffles!

Obviously this is not a “recipe”, but long story short… I bought a strawberry latte from a new bubble tea shop and forgot that the default sweetness in these drinks is usually too sweet for me. I also didn’t realize that a strawberry latte wouldn’t have any tea in it, so what resulted was a cup of almond milk with strawberry syrup, strawberry puree, and enough sugar to turn it to ice cream. Yikes!

So I didn’t drink it. I sipped about 1/3 of it through the evening and then took the rest home. Where we got the silly idea of… “will it waffle?”

I mean, when you break it down, what we have to work with is sweetened strawberry-flavored almond milk. Batter can use milk… and sugar. So let’s just add the rest of the ingredients for this recipe and give it a go!

The recipe I used is actually my own crepe recipe, which works well in a waffle iron too with added baking powder. I like using my bubble waffle maker when doing these kind of snack experiments because you get the best of both worlds: pillow-y bits and crispy edge bits.

Crispy edge bits and pillowy middle bits… yum.

I need to stop myself from eating all these….

This worked really well….lol. When all else fails… turn it into a waffle. XD

Note: I have no idea if the strawberry syrup in this drink has corn syrup in it or not. I have a high enough tolerance to handle occasional corn syrup, but if you’re not the case, always ask before ordering and if you’re not confident, don’t buy it.
