Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Small tapioca pearls
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Rinse the tapioca pearls thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess starch.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the rinsed tapioca pearls to the boiling water and stir gently to prevent clumping. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the pearls turn translucent with a small white dot in the center, remove the saucepan from heat and let the pearls rest in the hot water for 10 additional minutes.
Drain the tapioca pearls using a fine-mesh sieve, then rinse under cold water to cool them down and stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a separate saucepan, combine granulated sugar, honey, butter, salt, and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to simmer gently.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the drained tapioca pearls to the glaze and fold gently to ensure all pearls are evenly coated. Continue cooking for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and clings to the pearls.
Remove from heat and let the Glazed Pearls cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a topping for desserts, in a glass of milk tea, or simply on their own for a delightful treat.
