Handmade Tapioca Pearl (Boba) Recipe

In Cooking Tree, Handmade Tapioca Pearl (Boba) is on the menu, and we’ll show you how to make it from scratch.

I made two kinds of handmade tapioca pearls with tapioca starch, which are chewy and bouncy~
I mixed common pearl and cocoa powder to make a dark pearl, but it looks more appetizing when mixed together.

When you boil brown sugar and water and add starch, add it all at once and mix, the dough will flow without clumping.
Add a little starch to the sugar water, mix, put on low heat and boil until thick, then add all the remaining starch and mix to form a lump.

It doesn’t seem to stick well at first, but when you knead it with your hands, it becomes a smooth dough~^^
Boiling tapioca pearls, rinsing them in water, putting them in ice water and rinsing them once more gives them a firmer texture~

I boiled it in brown sugar syrup and stored it in a bottle, but you can omit the process of boiling in syrup~
I used 100% tapioca starch powder, but I think it’s safer and more delicious to make at home without any additives.

However, the process of making it is also complicated and takes a lot of time, so I can’t even think of making it again.
Just looking at it, the bright and plump visual seems to brighten my mood~~

Enjoy watching~~♬~
