TAPIOCA PEARLS & BUBBLE TEA
INGREDIENTS FOR TAPIOCA PEARLS
125 gms tapioca starch (1 cup)
10g cocoa powder ( 1.5 tbsp)
60 gms brown sugar (⅓ cup packed)
5 g tapioca starch
70 ml water
35 gms brown sugar and 50 ml water
INSTRUCTIONS
mix the tapioca flour and cocoa powder in a bowl
In another saucepan add the sugar and 5 gms of tapioca starch along with water . Mix it well
Heat this mixture on low heat , continuously stirring until it thickens
Switch off flame and remove from fire
Now add the tapioca flour and cocoa powder mixture to it
Mix gently with spatula
Now transfer it to a hard surface and gently knead the flour by hand to form a dough ( while still hot)
When the dough is smooth( takes around 5 mins) divide it into 4 parts
Roll out these parts into long snake shape
Cut small pieces ( around 0.5 cm) and then shape each into a ball
Keep the remaining dough covered while shaping the dough into small balls to avoid it from drying out
Sprinkle the dough balls with more flour to avoid them sticking to each other
Boil water in a pot and cook the balls on medium heat for 20 mins ( drop the balls into the boiling water slowly so that they don’t stick to the bottom)
After that keep a lid on the pot and let it sit for 30 mins
Drain
Take another pot and add the pearls to it along with 35 gms of brown sugar and 50 ml water
Place on stove and cook it again stirring continuously for around 5 mins until it reduces and becomes sticky
That’s it , remove to use later
