    • Yield: about 2 cups 1x

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 10 cups (2.4 L) water
    • 1 cup (160g) Nuts.com Black Tapioca Pearls, uncooked
    • 3 Tbsp (40g) brown sugar

    Instructions

    1. Pour water into a large pot, then place over high heat.
    2. When the water begins to boil, gently stir in tapioca pearls. Once the boba have floated to the top, cover pot and turn heat down to medium-low.
    3. Continue simmering for 30 minutes. Do not remove the lid, as that will release the heat and steam.
    4. After 30 minutes, turn off heat. Allow boba to rest for 30 minutes.
    5. Gently rinse boba with warm water to remove excess starch. Drain boba and pour into a bowl. While boba is still warm, carefully stir in brown sugar.
    6. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
    7. Use to make bubble tea at home or add to a fun bake, such as our Taro Milk Tea Cream Puffs or Milk Tea Tres Leches Cake.
