Tapioca Pearl Bubble Tea

Ingredients
  • Water
  • Ice
  • Large pot
  • Tapioca pearls
  • Sugar syrup
  • Bubble tea mixture
Procedure

In a large pot, add 6 to 8 cups of water and allow it to boil. The next step is to add tapioca pearls. But, make sure that you do not add all the tapioca pearls in one stroke. Add them slowly to the water. If you observe that the tapioca pearls have started floating, boil them, if the tapioca pearls are small in size, then you can boil them for 20 minutes, if they are medium-sized, then for 25 minutes and for large sized tapioca pearls the boiling time should be not more than 30 minutes. After boiling them enough, turn off the flame and allow it to settle for 20 minutes in water. In order to avoid the tapioca pearls from clumping, stir them after every 5 minutes. The next step is to rinse the tapioca pearls. Do this till there exists no water on them and allow them to dry completely. Combine the bubble tea mixture powder with ice and water. Instead of using water, you can also opt for milk. At the bottom of the cup, put some tapioca pearls and add some sugar syrup over it. Instead of using the sugar syrup, you can also use honey. Then in the cup slowly put the tea mixture and then you can use a bubble straw. Make sure that you use the tea solution and tapioca pearls immediately. Or, you can also cover them with a lid and keep it in the fridge. If not kept in fridge, bubble tea tends to become mushy. Before you use it, boil a cup of water and add tapioca pearls to it so that they become warm.
