Bubble Tea Step 7

Cooked Bubble Tea Tapioca Pearls

D.Schmidt
Boil for 20 minutes, then cover and allow the tapioca pearls to sit in the hot water for another 10-20 minutes, or until you're happy with their chewiness. Tapioca pearls will rise to the surface as they cook.

Tip: Instead of my instructions, you can follow the instructions on the package, but I find that even pearl tapioca that says "Ready in 5 Minutes!" still needs 20 minutes to cook. Basically, keep an eye on your tapioca and keep taste-testing it until you're happy with it.
