The secret to perfect bubble tea is in the pearls. It's also the hardest part of making the drink.

Difficulty: Average

Time Required: 2 hrs

Here's How:

1. Boil 8 parts water for every 1 part of pearls to be cooked.
2. Add the pearls to the boiling water, making sure that they are all evenly floating on the surface.
3. Do not cover the pot. Let simmer for 40 minutes. The pearls should be gently moving, but not rolling all around.
4. Remove the pot from heat, cover and let sit for another 30 minutes.
5. When the pearls are at just the right softness for your taste, drain them and rinse under cold water. The pearls should be cool to the touch.
6. Add them to your favorite bubble tea drink.

Tips:
