so i was talking to my friend shanshan aka sammy and she was talking baout how her pearls always come out extra soggy or hard and powderey in the inside still. u can usually find a bag of the pearls in super 88 market if your looking for them. fist u have to soak the pearls u want to cook in hot water to take some of that icky powder on the outside off for about 2 minutes. let your water boil on the stove , covered until it steams drop the pearls in a put the lid back on. check on it occasionaly . u see that the pearls are all floating on top of the water take it of the stove and let it sit with the lid on for another 2 minutes and it should come out fine.


oh and ps. i think the black orginal boba's are the best does anyone like the rainbow green tea or anyother ttypes? if u do share plz so far the rainbow and green tea ones taste pretty icky to me

i just have these 5 minute boba pearls thing. its easy. lol. i just drop it in boiling water, be gone for 5 minutes, then its done

yeah elee my mom makes it the same way you do too ^^ but the rainbow ones are good and the black ones are good in my opinion

[Emy]

how long does it take for them to float?

Mine still turn out with hard centers O_O

The package says "starch balls"...are those the same as boba pearls/tapioca?

^ If I remember correctly, when I was working at Lollicup, we let them cook for about 30 min - 1 hr.

But scrubbing the pot afterwards is a pain. I had to scurb it since I'm the new guy and the people there didnt tell me they have the stainless steel sponge until after I finished washing it with the regular sponge. Bunch of a**es.

^^ OMG...that's a longgg time. Did ya'll just use the tapioca from regular grocery stores?
It seems like they can never turn out as good as those from tea places. >>

I went to a Japanese restaurant and I got boba w/ my sushi and they had the boba stuck to the inside of the cup all the way around and about halfway to the top. Is there a way to do that at home? It was cool because I could drink the tea without killing myself and pick the bubble off when I felt like it.

omg thats cool hmm im not sure i think u can get the bobas to stick to the cup if u take it out of the water for a little bit cuse it gets sticky and put it around the cup but i think the water would make it all come off sorry im no help whats the restaurant called though haha i wanna try that toos

[lusciious1]

so basically the only reason why i get bubble tea is for these pretty little yummy pearls! lol

[Inevitable]

Thanks for the tip! I often find myself cooking these things for a long time because the center is still white, but once i let it cool, it becomes clear -__- tricky tricky.

[xsilentangel]

I never made them, but I really want some LOLLICUP bubble tea. yum

im not sure where they bought it from but it was in a package. That's all that I can remember hahaha. But I think all of them are the same, just that it comes in different sizes.

Is boba really 7-14 calories per pearl?
