Glad I found this because I was about to buy this exact brand with no clue how to make boba tea 😄
Awesome! I’m so happy I could help! These are very simple to make and it cooks fairly fast! Enjoy! 🥰

Same, i just bought it rn😭

They literally give you instructions on the package. No need to watch a video.
Dude I literally searched this up and I just bought this brand of boba
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it! =)

My tips for making this brand : I waited til my water was boiling, added the pearls. Cooked them for 30 minutes with a timer. Strained them and let it sit for a few minutes in warm water. Afterwards, I transferred them to a container with brown sugar and honey. I liked the combination of both to give a bit more sweetness. They did feel overcooked but once added into an ice drink like Thai tea, it firmed up just fine!
Hi Mary! That’s a great tip!!! I do enjoy boba on the sweeter side as well! I shall do that next time! Thank you for sharing 🥰
@@SallyFunakoshiHi there!! The package says wait 4 hours before eat the tapioca... Is it that true?? Can I eat them immediately?
@@varietyshowwithnicole7298 wait four hours my ass, eat em raw
@@varietyshowwithnicole7298it says 4 hours within, not after!
Watched this old vid and immediately bought the boba straws! Always in need of them at home! Thanks Sally
Yes they sure do come in handy! Did you purchase the boba too??!
Life saver! I just bought these as well and I was looking for the quickest video to explain it everyone else’s seemed a little extra! Thank you so much for making this video
Hello Maddie! You are so welcome! I’m so happy to help! Let me know if you have any questions, I’ll try my best to answer them 😊
This was super useful! I bought this same brand from a Pan Asia store and it was the clear version. Other then the pearls not being really flavorful it was simple and easy just like you made it out to be. Thank you for making the video ♡
It was my pleasure! I am so happy to hear that I am able to help =)
Thank you! I love boba! I got the same tapioca you did. Worked great.
You and me both! Love boba! So happy to help you out Cheree! ☺️
Just ordered these off of Amazon, and I’m so excited to try it!
Have you tried them yet? I hope it came out amazing for you, enjoy!
Yum. I’m making my own boba drink right now but of course from a can. Lol with coffee jelly.
Ooo coffee jelly? I've never had that. I've seen it but the traditional boba pearls always win my heart when ordering lol. What brand boba drink do you like? I see some at the grocery store.
This video was very helpful! Thank you ☺️
👋🏼Hi Elizabeth! You’re so very welcome! So happy to be able to help! 🙃

Awesome! Than you for the kind comment!
I love cooking and experiencing new recipe 😇
Thats great! I hope you get to try this one out one day =)
Ty! I'm going to get tapioca pearls soon, I've never had them before :]
They are a huge trend here in Hawaii! It fun to eat and it adds texture to you drink. Which sounds a little weird but it works! Enjoy ☺️
i made these yesterday with passion fruit juice instead of milk tea. it was so good!
YUM! That sounds like such a lovely combination! I have never tried it with any other drink yet, I might have to try that one =)
Thank you so much this was really helpful. I was trying to figure out how to do this I just bought these tapioca pearls exact same package as you thank you. I am so excited to make some chai bubble tea!!!!
Hi Paige, Thank you so much for your comment! It makes me so happy to be able to help! Did you make them yet? How did they turn out?
@@SallyFunakoshi
Yes I did I made the brown sugar one because that sounded very interesting I didn’t make the other two because I made ones that were more of my favourite flavors. I made a chai bubble tea as well. I also want to make Hong Kong bubble tea because I have a lot of black tea. Forgive me if I said that name wrong I think it’s called Hong Kong style bubble tea.
@@livemystic1958 Chai bubble tea sounds amazing! I have still yet to explore more flavors!
@@SallyFunakoshi
When ever you get the Chance, give it a go; for it is amazing!
I've never tried Boba tea before! I will definitely try it now though , new supporter here 💚
It has been such a trend for years now here in Hawai'i. I enjoy chewy textures so this type of boba is up my alley! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! =)
I think I overcooked mine this morning but I’ll try it again this afternoon 😅 this helps!
Ohh noo!! It's ok, we all learn as we go. I hope your second batch came out better!
I just got this same brand at my local Asian market. So excited to try it out! ❤
Have you made it yet? I love this brand boba =)
@@SallyFunakoshi Yes! They are delicious and addictive. I had some Boba Pearls on Yogurt so good! I Had to slow down since I am on a Fat Loss Journey.
Thanks love it !❤️
Thank you! I hope I was able to provide any help 🥰
@@SallyFunakoshi omg yes I wasn’t able to Make them correctly but after I watched this they came out way better !!💕
Thank you
I both a bag of these and they are suposed to come tomorrow and i dont know how to make these
Thank you
Hi There! That is awesome! I need to buy a couple more bags for myself because I just ran out. These are so great to have on hand. I keep my opened bag sealed and in the fridge, I find that it lasts longer if I do that. I hope you enjoy it and I hope I was able to help =)
I’m so glad I saw your video, because I have a bag of this brand of boba. Other instructions have called for at least 15 minutes of cooking. This brand must be a quick cooking variety. The instructions on the bag are in such a tiny font that they’re difficult to read. Had I not watched your video, my boba would have been complete mush. Thank you ☺️
Hi Wendy! It's people and comments like this that makes me so happy to know I was able to help someone out. I really enjoy this brand of boba, I love it even more because it is extremely quick and easy to cook. I hope you enjoy it =)
@@SallyFunakoshi It’s delicious, and next time I will cook it for a shorter length of time. I like chewy boba. Tomorrow I will make Thai tea to go with it 😊

Recently become obsessed with boba tea once a good Vietnamese place opened up. Question- do you keep the pack of uncooked tapioca pearls in the fridge ? Or can you leave in cabinet
Hi Sara! I just took a look at my package and it says to put in the fridge after opening. Which I didn’t know! Lol oopsie! Mine been in my cabinet, thanks for bringing awareness for me!
Put it in the cabinet or else the boba pearls will get water vapor in them
Bought this brand and couldn’t read the instructions. Thank you for this video
Awesome! I’m so happy to help! Enjoy!
I used this brand and i made it just right! I was so scared of making it over cooked but don’t sweat it. It’ll come out fine as long as you do the stuff right. I thought if I was a second off I’d mess it up lol
Hi There! You are so right, it really is hard to mess this one up. I am really happy with this brand. I love how easy it is to make. Thank you for your comment. I hope you are having a great weekend.
Ranip boba tea is a good choice
Thanks! I was so scared to get this because it’s my first time! I have a question though. How do I get the perfect texture of the brown sugar sauce?
Hi There! These are very easy to make, I'm sure you'll do just fine =) If you want a more sticky brown sugar syrup, add less water and simmer it on medium heat until it has thicken to your liking. Make sure to not over cook it or it'll develop a burnt taste. I hope this helps!
I've been trying to cook these exact same pearls for several times. Every time they've stayed tough or chewy on the inside. I've done exactly according to the instructions, and I've lengthened the cooking time up to 10 minutes, leaving them to sit for 10 minutes after cooking before tipping them into cold water and they were still chewy. Any ideas?
Hi There! These type of tapioca boba pearls are meant to be on the chewy side in texture. They shouldn't be tough though. If you prefer more softer tapioca, soaking them (after cooking) in sugar water in the fridge over night will lessen the chewiness. But, it can also make them soggy =( in my opinion it isn't very enjoyable when it's soft but its all a preference! I hope this helps! =)
@@SallyFunakoshi thank you! 😍 I didn't really like it when it was chewy. I've only had boba tea at boba shops and the pearls were kind of filled with liquid and the tapioca was just a thin shell. Any recommendations to get a result like this at home?
@@BagznBirdz OHHH! Are you talking about the popping pearls maybe? It bursts in your mouth and it has some type of juice in the middle? I found some on Amazon, are these the ones?

@@BagznBirdz No Problem! =) Glad I could help!
Thank you for the demonstration I will make them today. How long can you keep them in the fridge once you make them.
Hi there! I recommend trying to make as you need. These bobas taste their best when they are freshly cooked. You can however store already cooked boba pearls in the fridge for a day or 2. I suggest adding sugar water to it to prevent them from sticking to each other. As for the package of uncooked pearls, I also like to seal them and store in the fridge as well. ☺️ I hope this helps!

Thats amazing!!! Great job! Keep learning and experiencing =)
I bought this brand glad l found this video
Hi Gina, I really love this product! Its the read deal and extremely easy to work with! Enjoy! =)
@@SallyFunakoshi I'm buying another bag it's easier than I thought thank you
@@ginagilbertgathering2540 I'm totally buying another bag as well! LOL. I want to make the lava flow boba cake! Have you seen those yet? They look ahhmazing!
@@SallyFunakoshi no I haven't seen it
I've been following the directions from the back of the bag. The issue I have is that it doesn't taste like what it smells like. I usually add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar to about half a cup of tapioca. Do I need to add A LOT more brown sugar? Also some people say to boil this brand for 30 minutes while the instructions say for about 3 minutes. Any thoughts or ideas on getting more flavor?

Omg I love Boba milk tea. Have you ever use condensed milk?
Hello Stephany! I am with you on that! Boba milk tea is my go to! Even with alllll the other flavors they offer I always stick to my usual lol. I have made it with sweetened condensed milk and loveee it!
Same

I am definitely a sucker for milktea =)

Mine came like an hour ago and I wanted to make it
Awesome! Enjoy! =)
I willl
Will it still work if you add the pearls before the water is boiling?
Hi Abigail, yes it will you will just have to adjust your cooking time to probably a tad bit longer =)
Where do you recommend storing the bag
Hi Lyn! If it isn’t opened store them in a cool area away from the sun. After you open the bag it needs to be stored in the fridge.
As for cooked boba, I recommend eating them while they’re fresh. You can store them in the fridge for a day or 2 after cooking but the texture may change.
could you keep any extra cooked pearls in a container in the fridge? like if you have extra pearls that you had cooked, but you don’t want to throw it away.
Hi There! You can store them in the fridge for a day or two but the texture could change. If you store them in sugar water, the tapioca will soak it all up and will eventually become soggy. If you don’t store them in liquid they can dry up and become hard.
Its always best to eat it fresh in my opinion 🙂
@@SallyFunakoshi okay thank you!
@@suevannaho5050 No problem! Enjoy! ☺️
Freeze them in a bowl then when you want boba boil it or put it in the microwave til the brown sugar syrup is no frozen or if you didn’t add syrup until the boba looks good,
@@nepptune_playzroblox5370 that’s not a bad idea! Thank you for the tips!
where should you store the package it came in after?
Hi there! It is directed to store in a cool dry place or in the fridge. I store my unopened package in a cool area and once I open mine I store it in the fridge. I hope this helps! 🙃
Hello i tried to cook this tapioca pearl many times and it was chewy like i wanted to have but once i put it on my fridge or mixed it with my shake it became super hard and can no longer eat it , please help me what should i do in order to make it chewy even it was mixed with my shake or store on my fridge
Hi There! I find it best to boil the pearls in small batches as you need them. Fresh boba pearls can't be beat. Verse making a big batch and saving them in the fridge. The texture definitely changes a bit. I hope this helps! =)
When i follow the instructions, the boba ends up kind of undercooked. should i be cooking them longer than instructed?
Hi There! Thank you for your comment, yes I would try to cook them for an extra 2-3 minutes. Though I would keep in mind that this specific boba is meant to be pretty chewy. I hope this helps 🙃
heyyy this was a year ago so Idk if you'd still see my comment (I hope you do)... how were the pearls? I have never seen this brand but I bought a similar 5-minute pearl. It does cook in 5 minutes and I love it because it's not like other pearls that are time consuming to make (plus wasteful og gas/electricity since they take so long to cook). My only problem is if I don't consume them all, or if i take too long to finish my milktea, the pearls harden. Do you happen to have the same problem with this brand?
Hi there! Thank you for your comment and questions. I hope my response will help you.
I find it most ideal to cook as you eat, by that I mean to only cook what you think you’ll consume because the taste and texture is at its best when it’s fresh. However, if you have a little extra you can soak them in a sugar water and store them in the fridge. The sugar water will keep them hydrated and sweet for the next use. I recommend eating them within the next day or two at the most.
I hope this helps 😊
Mine had a weird taste that didn't really taste like those from the shops. Is that weird?
Hi Karen, awww what a bummer!? I can tell you that these tapioca bobas don't really have much taste. It is mostly enjoyed from hits chewy texture. The shops that include this type of boba in their drinks are heavily soaked in some type of sugar syrup or sugar water. After making a fresh batch try allowing it to sit in honey... when you scoop them into your drink make sure to add some of that sugar water to give it that extra sweetness. I hope this helps!
Is it still okay to eat over cooked pearls? They’re not sticking together but they’re soft and chewy. I followed your instructions and they came out soft and chewy but I’m not sure if they’re soggy. Thanks!
Hey Bridget!! Yes it’s ok it eat over cooked pearls, the texture may change to be softer. You may need to play around with your cooking time to make the adjustments. I prefer mine chewy but it’s all a preference :) I also recommend to only cook in small batches to enjoy them fresh vs. after they been in the fridge. I hope this helps!
@@SallyFunakoshi Great! Thank you so much for letting me know! I’ll definitely try to find the perfect way for me to make them! Thanks for letting me know! Loved the video! Helped a bunch! 😊🌸✨
are they to be refrigerated if u haven’t opened them yet?
Hi there! No they do not need to be refrigerated as long as it’s kept in a cool area. Away from direct sunlight.
Just a question is it ok if my dry bowl is a little dirty
Hey there! For best results soak and store your cooked boba pearls in a clean (lol) bowl of sugar water =)
i got this for 2$ from sale
its gonna come today
Yay!! $2??? Thats a really great deal! I hope you enjoy!
Is it supposed to taste bland or how long do I leave the boba in brown sugar?
Hi There!! Ohh no, let's fix that! The truth is that Boba does not have much taste. You have to add a pretty good amount of sweetener which could be honey or brown sugar. Having them soak for a while does help get it all absorbed. I would let it soak for a minimum of 30 minutes. I also recommend adding some of that sugar liquid into your drink to help sweeten it is. But the key is to add more sweetener than you think.
I hope this helps! =)
@@SallyFunakoshi thank you ❤️
Wait is it just the currency or just Amazon bc I got the same thing for 2.80
Hey Shanice! Might be the currency? I’m not sure, we always have to pay more for everything from Hawaii it seems 😭
It says to eat it after 4 hours of cooking it so does that mean I have to wait 4 hrs before I put it in my drink cuz I didn’t hear u mention anything about it
Hi there! It’s recommended to eat it within 4 hours. They start to lose its chewy texture over time. You can store cooked tapioca in the fridge for a day but I recommend cooking just what you need instead for the best results.
@@SallyFunakoshi ooh thank u for the clarification although it makes sense now becuz I left it over night and it became very hard
@@zahara1863 If you leave it overnight in the fridge, have them soaking in sugar water so they don't dry out and get hard. I'm so sorry, I should've mentioned this in my first response!
Is my boba sour/bitter because I didn't sweeten it long enough, or it's bad?
Hi There!! Ohh no, the boba shouldn't be sour or bitter. However, they do not have much taste. You do need to add a pretty good amount of sweetener which could be honey or brown sugar. Having them soak for a while does help get it all absorbed. But the key is to add more sweetener than you think.
I hope this helps! =)
Hello, any idea why mine became liquid ? As soon as i put them in liquid they just break apart into liquid
Hi There! My best guess would be that the type of boba you used was the "popping boba" which are the liquid/juice capsules that are round in size just like the same as the tapioca bobas. Ive learned that the word "boba" is on multiple different types of packaging and many people get them confused. The boba I am using is made from tapioca which is a chewy texture and does not have any liquid in it. I hope this helps =)
What stores sell this brand??
Hi There! I am so sorry, I have not seen these in the stores. I bought mine from Amazon lol
All my tapioca balls keep on cracking when I try to put them in water (please help me)
Oh noo, I'm not sure why they would crack? Unless it's a bad batch? Is it the same brand?
But what if it’s still hard in the middle for the pearls?
Hi Ariyanna =) The cooking instructions for the tapioca pearls are pretty fast. Although it advertises 5 minutes, I would still do a little taste/texture check with 1 pearl after you shock it in ice water. I like my pearls to be on the chewier side which is a little more firm (but not hard) in the middle. If you like your pearls more soft, you can boil them a little longer. However, if you store already cooked pearls in the fridge they can change in texture in which I've experienced the pearls to harden. All in all, its best to cook and enjoy them fresh =). I hope this helps!
Ok thank you:)
Is it suppose to be chewy, cause mine turn out chewy and the one other time I had boba it wasn’t chewy, so did yours come out chewy?
Hi Circe! Yes, it’s has a chewy texture when it’s freshly cooked. It becomes soft overtime as it sits.
Ye mine was but if you boil it more it will be less chewy but will have a hard bit in the middle
if you dont want to make the milk tea can you just add milk
Hi Erika! Oh yes of course! You can add boba to ANY drink! Milk Tea is just one of the classic and common ways to enjoy with Boba. My kids like it in their smoothies sometimes too =)
I cooked it same way but mine become so hard I couldn't eat it
any ideas what was my mistake ?
Hi There! Gosh, Im so sorry yours didn't turn out, were you using the same brand as I am in this video? When you say hard, do you mean like hard as a rock? Or was is hard as in really chewy? The type of boba I cooked in this video is meant to be very chewy, I am learning that a lot of people prefer softer boba over chewy boba. If this is the case then cooking them an extra 10-15 minutes will soften it up. I hope this helps!
Instead of Brown Sugar, Can I use Normal Sugar?
Brown sugar provides that molasses aspect to the drink but you can very much use any type of sweetener you like, you can even use honey! You’ll just need to taste as you go.
Wait when you open it do you have to close it if you dont use all of them in one go?
Hey There!! You don't have to cook them all at one time. 1 cup of uncooked boba pearls would be good enough for 2-4 rink servings. I store my opened bag in a ziplock bag in the fridge.
Have you made them yet? I hope you enjoy =)
@@SallyFunakoshi oh okay, thank you! Btw I made it and it was really good with my drink, tysm for this video!
Can i use normal sugar?
Hi! Yes you sure can! Brown sugar has molasses so it makes the syrup a little bit thicker which some people like but you can very much so use white sugar! Enjoy! :)
When you boil the water is the heat supposed to be high?
Hi There! Bring your water to a boil on high heat, once your boba are floating you can turn it down to medium heat for the remainder of the cooking time. I hope this helps! ☺️
@@SallyFunakoshi thank you, I just tried your recipe and they came out so good!!!
@@lunatwerk Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing that with me. It makes me happy to hear when other people try it out. ☺️
did you ever post the popsicle video???

If you go to your local filipino or Chinese supermarket they sell the pearls for half the price.
Thanks for the tip!!
Do we put boba in the freezer
Hi there! No you don't want to store them in the freezer. You can store cooked boba pearls in sugar water and inside the fridge but its best to eat them fresh or within the same day you cooked them. I hope this helps =)
@@SallyFunakoshi i did'nt put in on my frerzer but just ony fridge but it turns out super hard again and can no longer eat it 😔
When i put my pearls in to the drink, the taste of the sugar totally dissapears and they don't taste at all... what am i doing wrong? I added so much sugar too
Hey there! To be honest, the boba pearls do not hold a whole love of the sweetness especially if you are preparing your drink right away. I like to have mine soak in a bowl of sugar water or even honey for a couple hours before I add them to my drink. I hope this helps!
This is very nutritious
Have you tried boba drinks Franklyn?
Tapioca is not healthy it’s just super yummy ☀️
@@Angel-ni8qn Those are indeed facts lol especially the yummy part 😋
Does it taste just as good?
Hi! 🙂These tapioca bobas are legit! 👌🏼 as for the milk tea recipe, it is completely adjustable so you can control the sweetness level by preference.
@@SallyFunakoshi Thanks! I just bought some & hopefully they turn out just as good as urs did. Anyway thanks for the tutorial, you make it look so easy.
@@hadouken7087 I hope you like it! Enjoy!!!☺️
@@SallyFunakoshi Update. Me and my girlfriend bought the same brand of tapioca pearls& followed ur steps. We used honey instead and they came out better than we expected! Just as good as restaurant bought.
Aww I appreciate the update! I think I like the honey version better too 👍🏻 another thing I see a lot of people doing is making brown sugar syrup walls along the side of the cup with their milk tea 🤤
I made it the same way but when i put the boba in the drink, the honey or brown sugar mixes with the drink an the boba taste like nothing :(
Hi there! I have to sadly agree with you. The boba themselves don’t hold a lot of the sweetness. Although they don’t provide the most taste they do provide great texture to the drinks ☺️
@@SallyFunakoshi :,( When i get them from a boba shop, they usually taste sweet. But you know what, I tried to make them from scratch and added good amount of brown sugar in the boba dough and they tasted very close to boba shops :) but it's alot of work. I moved to a place that doesn't have good boba shops, so imma have to make them from scratch once in a while :D
I use this brand and have tried making it many times and follow the directions exactly, but they always end up still too firm in the center. I've tried boiking for a few minutes longer and they're still too firm.
It happened to me too. I'm gonna try again, boiling in slow heat a little bit longer to see how they turn out
Hi Erika, what a bummer! Sorry that you've been having a bad experience with them. I prefer my boba to be on the chewier side but I read that if you enjoy them on the softer side you can boil them as long as up to 30 minutes and then allowing it to set in the warm water for an additional 15-20 minutes. Apparently they firm up when they are cooled down so maybe even skipping the ice bath might help?
Hi Angie, I did a little more digging to find out why this is happening. Just as I shared with Erika, I read that if you enjoy them on the softer side you can boil them as long as up to 30 minutes and then allowing it to set in the warm water for an additional 15-20 minutes. Apparently they firm up when they are cooled down so maybe even skipping the ice bath might help?
I hope this helps!
@@SallyFunakoshi oh wow thank you, I'll try this next time. I didnt want to overdo it, so I never went more than an extra 10 minutes before the ice bath

how long should it marinade in the brown sugar? i tried the exact brand but did not add any sugar and it taste horrible
Hi Darren! Im so sorry you had a bad experience. After boiling the tapioca Have them sit in a sugar water syrup bath for a minimum of 30 minutes. You can use honey or brown sugar. The key is to use more sweetener than you think. Also, don't be shy with adding some of that sugar water syrup to your drink to give it that dessert sweetness. I hope this helps!!
Paid 3$ for this today 🥳
Oooo Have fun with it! Its very simple to make and so delicious to enjoy!
She didn’t tell us it was good or noy
It’s chewy and delicious ☺️👌🏼 I would recommend adding a little more brown sugar if you like it on the sweeter side.
I really just bought new sago and forgot to buy a straw…

This video pretty much gives the same instructions as the package. I followed them even allowed extra time and it was a total fail. 9 minutes total cooking time and they were like rocks.
Hi There! Aww I am so sorry it didn't work out for you. Interesting that they came out hard. I know that the temperature on peoples stoves vary, hopefully you could figure out the right cook timing for yours.
These boba tasted like fish. I'm wondering if anyone had the same taste.
Nope!
ohh no, thats not good lol Maybe it was a bad batch?
