Please do not soak.Sellers instructions are false, simply boil for an hour to desired consistency?** A: No, my experience is to boil for about 20 minutes and keep a small white kernel in the center. I use the this large pearl tapioca for sweet fruit soup that is reheated numerous times. **Q: How do you cook this junk?! I've been on it for an hour and half. Tried high heat, medium heat, low heat. Still white and crunchy in the center!!!!** A: There is no way.. i’ve been trying to cook it for several hours changing pots to prevent burning until it is barely edible and by that time its all sticky and seems to be over cooked so definitely a waste of money and time. Literally a junk. **Q: Do you recommend using them for bubble tea/boba drinks** A: I use this large pearl tapioca for a sweet fruit soup. I think they would work fine for bubble tea. I cook the tapioca so there's still a small white center because the batch of soup is large and reheated numerous times. So the tapioca stays firm. Be sure to rinse the tapioca before you add it to a tea or drink!! Hope this helps. **Q: how do you cook the Boba pearls; the pkg has no instructions. Do you soak it? How long to boil or simmer? Can you cook it in a rice cooker?** A: Boil water, once it is boiling, add the boba and let it boil for 15 mins. Rinse to remove the blobs lol. Soak in cool water overnight, boil again for 10 mins. Soak overnight. Final cook time, add brown sugar or white whatever your preference is. I bought mine at the asian market.
