Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tapioca pearls
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water and stir gently to prevent sticking.
Cook the tapioca pearls for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and chewy. They will float to the top when done.
While the pearls are cooking, in a separate saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar and 1 cup of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens into a syrup.
Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain them and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Add the drained tapioca pearls to the brown sugar syrup, stirring well to coat all the pearls. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the syrup.
In a blender, combine the unsweetened coconut milk, ice cubes, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Divide the boba pearls between two serving glasses.
Pour the blended coconut milk mixture over the boba pearls.
Stir gently to combine and serve immediately with a wide straw.
