Start by cooking the tapioca pearls. In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil.
Add 1 cup of tapioca pearls to the boiling water and stir gently until they float to the top.
Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pot. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, remove from heat and cover the pot with a lid. Let the pearls sit for an additional 15 minutes.
Drain and rinse the pearls with cold water to remove excess starch, then set them aside.
In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of water over medium heat to make the brown sugar syrup.
Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes a thick syrup, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 cup of coconut cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Divide the cooked tapioca pearls into serving glasses.
Pour the brown sugar syrup over the tapioca pearls, ensuring they are well-coated.
Pour the coconut cream mixture over the pearls and syrup, giving the beverage a layered effect.
Stir slightly before serving to mix the flavors. Enjoy your vegan brown sugar boba!
