Tapioca pearls, or boba, are translucent and sweet pops of goodness that give drinks and desserts an extra chewy bite. While I love asking, \u201cBoba?\u201d after every meal, I also like to cook these at home since it’s pretty easy and worth it if you’re making drinks for a group of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have white boba, I have a separate post about how to cook white tapioca pearls<\/a>. While it is very similar, there are some brand-specific differences which could matter if you happened to buy those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your package of tapioca pearls comes with instructions, following that is your best bet since cooking methods and times can vary greatly between brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the silly manufacturers sent you packing with a bag of boba without instructions for some reason, the 30 & 30 method below is a good start, since it worked for most brands of boba I tested, whether it required a slight time reduction, or multiple rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
