How to Make Homemade BOBA pearls!

Make your own Homemade BOBA-- tapioca pearls!

INGREDIENTS:
Instant Tapioca
Boiling Water
2 small bowls
1 stove pan (choose size depending how many boba's you want to make)



 You get dry tapioca instant pudding and pour a small amount into a smaller icecream sized bowl. Then you pour in small amounts of boiling water and pour in just enough to make the tapioca firm enough to roll into balls, if nothing sticks together, then it means you need to add more tapioca or pour out excess water. Eventually you should be able to roll really tiny balls of tapioca, make sure you don't spend too much time rolling the balls, because they might break apart and not maintain shape, after rolling each ball, place it into a pan of boiling water. When rolling the balls, it's okay if they feel gritty and like they aren't disolved enough, they will suck in the water as they boil. They should sink to the bottom and eventually make their way to the top of the water (when fully cooked). Then when all are floating at the top, get another bowl of iced cold water and maybe a few ice cubes, and then put the boba in. Generally, the boba will not stay good for more than a day, so don't make more than you want to eat!

ENJOY!
