Premium Boba Pearls Tapioca Pearls for Bubble Tea Boba Balls for Drinks by Locca - (4 Bags - 56oz with 40 Straws)

These were by far the easiest most convenient boba to make. The tapioca was nice and chewy and almost exactly replicates the boba you can get from the bubble tea cafes. However, you need to make a syrup to sweeten the boba or you will end up with flavorless, unsweetened pearls. This is not labeled on the package, so just be aware. You can make simple syrup, use honey or maple syrup or make brown sugar syrup (which tastes most like the one from the store). Hope this helps, very great and easy product overall :)

I tried in different ways, 1) Add the Boba in warm/hot water and spin gently. The boba turns to sticky stuff in the pot. 2) Add the boba in boiling water and let the water keep boiling without stirring the boba. Cook for ~20 min and then let it incubate in the hot water for 20-30 minutes. It works! It takes time to cook but it can work as good as boba in the stores.

Good not great. Shift them through a flour strainer to get access powder off so it doesn’t clump. That’s how I got best results. Great taste. My big issue was they molded sooner than I thought even though I had them pretty sealed up. Maybe don’t buy if you don’t eat on a regular basis. Would be great if you have regularly though. Worth the money in that case.

I originally bought this because the brand I bought before raised its price, and I thought this one would have better value. After trying it though, I would rather spend the few extra dollars for a significantly better product.These seem to be vacuum sealed upon arrival, but most of the bags I got had air in them. Whether they were poorly sealed or damaged in transit, I don’t know, but I do know that the bags that had no vacuum were much more broken.The bags are half unusable tapioca powder and half misshapen tapioca pearls. If you get any powder into the pot/kettle, you would end up cooking a gelatin-like syrup which does not make for an enjoyable drinking experience. The taste is fine, not sweet (which I like being able to adjust during preparation) but the texture is terrible.Its also burns easily (like, within 5min), likely due to the density’s of this syrup-mush. So not only am I getting less boba, but bad, clumpy, burnt-tasting boba.I wouldn’t get it again, and to keep using it I have to sift out all the usable boba, which only makes this a pain to use. I don’t recommend it at all.

it is so nice to cook this

I haven’t found a way to make them 24 hours in advance. They get mushy if you don’t t use all of them right away.

Tasty

I was afraid to put this in my Boba tea, because I think it would block my intestines!I followed the directions and rinsed it well, but it was just sticky globs of goop.
