Ingredients

Tapioca Pearls: 

• ¾ cup of Dry Black Tapioca Pearls 
• *Depending on brand purchased instructions will vary slightly - follow the steps on packaging 
• 7 ½ cups of water 
• 1 ½ tablespoon of Purecane™ Canister (or 5 Purecane™ Packets) 
• *Craving something more decadent? Sub out the classic sweetener for 2 tablespoons of the new  Purecane™ Brown Sweetener 

Tea:

• 1 raspberry hibiscus tea bag 
• *If difficult to find, can improvise with just hibiscus tea (or tea of choice) & muddled raspberries 
• 6 to 12 oz water 
• *Depending on how strong you want your tea 
• Splash of milk of choice 
• Like it extra sweet? Add an extra teaspoon of the canister or a packet or two :) 

Directions

1. Boil the 7 ½ cups of water, then slowly add tapioca into the pot, stirring lightly. Note: If you like a lot of boba the ratio is just 1 part dried pearls to 10 parts water so add as much as you like, just make sure your pot is big enough for all the water!
2. Cover pot after tapioca has floated to the surface, cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.  Keep covered, but turn off heat & simmer another 2-3 minutes. Note: Cook time dependent to personal preference on softness
3. Scoop out cooked tapioca & rest in a small bowl of cold water for 15 to 30 seconds to cool.
4. Drain out cold water or transfer pearls to a dry bowl & stir in Purecane™ sweetener of choice.
5. Warm up the water for your tea and start muddling raspberries if desired for extra garnish. Note: Can have this drink hot or cold, just make sure you have ice on hand to speed up the cooling process.
6. Once cooled (or heated) to your liking scoop in as much boba as you like on top of the muddled berries & pour over tea.  Top off with additional sweetener & splash of milk if desired.
7. Enjoy! Note: Boba is only good for a short window after cooking (about 4 hours) so drink up quick!
