A few days ago I was in the Asian market and garbed a bag of tapioca pearls on impulse to try it out. But there are no instructions on the bag, at least that I can read. The pearls are about small pea sized.

    Hmmm....found this on chowhound. Comments suggest that it requires some experimentation to get right...good luck!

    1 cup tapioca pearls
    8 cups water
    some say 7:1 ratio
    1) Boil water in a large pot.
    2) Add in the tapioca pearls to boiling water.
    3) Stir initially to prevent tapioca from sticking to the bottom of the pot. The tapioca pearls should float in the water.
    4) Boil for about 25 minutes with the cover on.
    5) Turn the heat off and let the tapioca sit in the water for another 25 minutes.
    6) Rinse the cooked tapioca pearls in warm water and drain out the water.
    7) Cover with bubble tea fructose, sugar syrup, brown sugar whatever syrup so they don't dry out.
    If that is what you are doing now, you could vary boil times or let

    I bought a big bag of them a while ago to make bubble tea at home. You just boil them. They're supposed to be a little al dente, so if yours are a small pea sized than I'd guess 15 min? If they're too soft than reduce the time the next time you make them.
