How to Make Golden Boba at home

Make the dough

1. In a small pot, slightly heat the water and dissolve brown sugar over slowest fire (to avoid too much water lost). Make sure the sugar is dissolved. Heat the liquid to a boiling and then use slowest fire.
2. Now, add 1/2 of the tapioca starch in and mix quickly (Count 6 to 7seconds). Turn off the fire or remove from fire and add the remaining 1/2 of the tapioca starch. Mix until gathered. Quick during the process.
3. Place the remaining flour on an operation board. Transfer the smooth paste in and knead into a dough with the help of a scraper blade. At first, it might be slightly sticky. Continue kneading until smooth. Be quick during the process. The dough becomes hard to control when cool down completely.

Shape the dough

1. Divide the dough into 4 portions. Remember to cover the other three with plastic bag. Then shape one portion into a long log (around 0.5cm in diameter).
2. Pinch a small portion from the log and shape into small round balls. (be patient and do not require prefect roundness).
3. In a large plate, spread some flour and coat each ball with enough flour to avoid sticking to each other. After finish all of the pearls, shift the extra flour off. You can now package in air-tight bags and freeze for later use.

How to cook the boba pearls

1. Bring a large pot of water (at least 6 times of the volume of the pearls) and cook the pears for 20 to 30 minutes. Then transfer the balls into a cold water (they shrink to original size immediately).
2. Wash under running water. Drain and mix with 2 tablespoons of honey to avoid sticky together.
3. Now, make your creations and make lovely boba drinks!
