NOTES & TIPS

(1) Tapioca Pearls. Buy black tapioca pearls from a local Asian grocery store or online. I found mine on Amazon: 2 pack black tapioca pearls with straws.
(2) Cooking Tapioca. I usually cook tapioca by boiling for 5 minutes in a saucepan on the stovetop, then transferring to cold water to stop the cooking process. Adjust the cooking time to get your preferred tapioca pearl texture. For example, if you like them to be soft and squishy, cook them a minute or two longer.
(3) Serving. Serve immediately with extra thick straws wide enough for the boba to pass through. Enjoy promptly because tapioca pearls lose their texture over time and harden.

heather (delicious not gorgeous)

i’ve only had bubble tea with well… tea. but this sounds like a good change of pace! i agree that most of the bubble tea’s out there (ahem, t-pumps in the bay area) are way too sweet, even if i ask for less sugar!
