Tips for the Boba Cup
The boba cup is a small tapered cup with a lid, a striped straw and tiny brown pearls at the bottom made from French knots or beads. The axolotl hugs the cup with both front legs. Keep the cup proportional so the axolotl looks like it ordered a giant bubble tea, which is half the joke.
