Ingredients
Directions
Bring a pot of water to a rumbling boil on high heat.
Stir water while slowly adding in tapioca, stir until all the boba have risen.
Turn heat to a gentle simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. (Add more water throughout, if necessary)
After 30 minutes, turn off heat, cover with lid and let rest another 30 minutes.
Strain boba and wash under cold running water to remove excess starch.
Test the boba’s texture. If boba is too chewy repeat step 1-5.If boba is too soft repeat step 5 only until ideal texture is achieved
Optional: Soak boba in your choice of sweetener for 5 minutes to enhance their flavour.
Recipe Note
Consume within 3 hours or store in fridge / freezer.
Tips: If your boba tends to stick together in the pot, stir occasionally.

Works perfectly! Just have to make sure the water is BOILING HOT before you add the pearls or else your pearls will just fall apart in the water.

Took a couple of goes but I followed the recipe and turned out perfect after the second try.

Terrible tapioca pearls. Always turns into a gooey blob. Disappointed

I got my first order came last week, so excited. I was a little disappointed to see that some of the tapioca pearls in the 1kg bag appeared to be squashed & powdery, when I made my first batch of pearls they were a stodgy lumpy mess. I then tried a small amount in a microwave cup & 2 minutes in the microwave with a stir, then a further 30 seconds a few more times stirring in between until it resembled the pearls ‘brown ones’.

The pearls turned out well but the cooking method is way off. Have to add to boiling water and only need to cook for 20 minutes then add to sugar syrup and soak for a few minutes, then ready to go.
