Tapioca Pearls

In the bubble tea business, delivering consistent, high-quality tapioca pearls can set your shop apart. The perfect pearls offer that signature chewy texture your customers crave, whether they're enjoying them in their favorite bubble tea or as a topping for desserts. This easy, step-by-step recipe using Bossen’s Large Tapioca Pearls ensures you can produce the same great results every time, helping you meet demand with confidence while enhancing customer satisfaction. Follow these simple instructions to maintain quality and efficiency in your shop’s drink or dessert offerings.

Ingredients:

12 oz. Bossen Large Tapioca Pearls
9 cups hot water
Fructose or raw cane sugar (adjust to desired sweetness)
Bossen Honey Flavored Syrup (optional for enhanced flavor)

Directions:

Bring 9 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Ensure a 1:6 ratio of pearls to water for the best cooking results.
Slowly pour the tapioca pearls into the boiling water, stirring immediately to prevent clumping.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pearls for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and allow the pearls to steep for 35 minutes to fully cook the centers.
Drain the pearls and rinse them with cold water to remove excess starch and cool them down.
Add fructose or raw cane sugar and Bossen Honey Flavored Syrup to taste. Let the pearls sit for 15 minutes to absorb the sweetness before serving.
The tapioca pearls are now ready to be served in bubble tea or as a topping for desserts. For best results, use within 4 hours.

For Small Tapioca Pearls: Cook for 10 minutes and allow to steep for 5 minutes for optimal chewy texture.

Additional Notes for Businesses:

Batch Cooking: For high-volume needs, scale up the recipe by maintaining the 1:6 pearls-to-water ratio. Cook in large batches and store the pearls in syrup at room temperature to keep them fresh for several hours.
Storage Tips: To maintain texture, avoid refrigerating cooked tapioca pearls. If necessary, reheat in warm syrup to restore chewiness before serving.
