Introduction:

    Tapioca pearls have been a beloved ingredient in bubble tea, shaved ice desserts and sweet soup-based desserts in Asia and Asian communities in the West. However, packaged tapioca pearls often come with inadequate instructions on how to prepare them, which is why we’ve created a guide to help you cook them perfectly at home. Our tips will help you make delectable tapioca pearls to add to your milk tea for an enjoyable beverage experience.

    I. Tapioca Pearls: What Are They?

    Tapioca pearls are small, translucent and flavorless spheres usually between the size of a pea and a marble. They are made with tapioca starch obtained from the cassava root. These chewy and sticky pearls are added to drinks and desserts to enhance their texture.

    II. Tips for Cooking Tapioca Pearls

    Properly preparing dried tapioca pearls is crucial to guarantee that they taste great and have the desired texture. Our tips can help you do this effectively:

      - Tapioca pearls must be placed directly into boiling water. Do not wash or rinse them before cooking.

      - Prior to adding tapioca, pre-boil water until it reaches a rolling boil.

      - The cooking time will depend on how big your pearls are, but they have to be translucent without any opaque white center when finished.

      - A significant amount of water must be used while cooking tapioca pearls since they absorb water quickly.

      - Repeat the process if they still have opaque centers.

      - Dissolve 3 tablespoons of sugar into 1 cup of warm water.

      - Drain and rinse the pearls one final time and then place them into the sugar water to prevent them from sticking together.

      IV. Conclusion
