Tapioca Pearls 8 Oz | Classic Kosher Brown Sugar - Non-Gmo, Vegan, Gluten-Free 12 Servings Balls For Tea, Bubble Tea Drinks

I followed the directions to cook the boba pearls. While they cooked, I made two cups of an easy simple syrup with water and brown sugar. When the boba was done, I added the pearls to the syrup (everything was cool), then put them in individual serving baggies and put them in our freezer. Our kiddos can just pull a pack out, put it in hot water for a few minutes, fill a cup with ice & milk then add the boba & syrup. It’s SO delicious, so much healthier and only cost around $1.25 per cup! This is the way we will make boba from now on. I feel better knowing my kids get the treat they love, but with much cleaner and mostly organic ingredients (all other ingredients are organic).

I had no problems making these. The texture was close to perfect, being chewy and soft. I make half of a bag at a time. After I rinse them with cold water, I add organic maple syrup before adding a couple scoops to my milk tea.

I bought these because I love bubble tea but my local shop puts sugar syrup in everything and I was looking for a sugar-free alternative. I should have read better because these are made with brown sugar and had I realized that I would not have bought them. I prepared them according to package directions. First, they are clear green, not the dark color like at the shop. That’s ok, especially if it means no junk. Second, they are smaller than the ones at the bubble tea shop. I guess I can live with that, but I would have liked them to be the size of blueberries rather than the size of peas. But, the deal breaker for me, is the texture is not the same as the tea shop. The ones at the shop are chewy but these are softer. I’ll finish the ones I have but I won’t buy them again because they are smaller and have a different texture and are made with brown sugar. If I could give 3.5 stars I would, because they are not awful. But they are not the same as the tea shop, which is what I was looking for.

These boba pearls taste okay, but the price is too high for the quantity. They take a long time to cook and don’t have the chewy texture I expected. Not worth the cost.

They get the job done but not as tasty
