     Preparation time: 80 minutes
    Type: Toppings
     Difficulty: Medium
     Equipment:
    • Pot
    • Hob
    • Colander
    • Wooden spoon
    • Timer
     Ingredients: 
    Ratio Tapioca pearl : Water 1 : 10
    • 500g 8.5mm tapioca pearls
    • 5,000 L water
    • 100ml Black sugar syrup
     Preparation:
    1. Boil water in the pot.
    2. While waiting for water boiling:  weight the dry tapioca pearls for 500g, and pour dry tapioca pearls into the colander. Sieve the tapioca pearls, weeding out the crushed bits and set it on the side.
    3. After water is boiled, slowly pour tapioca pearls into the pot and continuously stir to prevent the pearls from sticking together.
    4. When the tapioca pearls start to float, start the timer for 35 minutes and turn the heat to medium heat. The tapioca must boil continuously. Keep stirring every 5 minutes to prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking in the pot.
    5. After the timer sounds, turn off the heat and cover the lid of the pot. Set the timer for another 35 minutes.
    6. Prepare to rinse the water out from tapioca pearls and clean the tapioca pearls by pouring the cooked tapioca pearls into the colander and washing tapioca pearls with cold water for 2 - 3 times until the pearls are nice and cold.
    7. Pour the tapioca pearls into the bowl and add premium brown sugar syrup or fructose syrup. 
     Tips:
    1. Adding black sugar syrup in the tapioca pearls will create more flavour in tapioca pearls and help tapioca pearls not stick together.
    2. Wash tapioca pearls with cold water after cooking will help the pearls not stick together.
    3. The shelf life of cooked tapioca pearls is 3 - 4 hours at room temperature.
    4. If you want softer tapioca pearls, you can adjust the cooking time to 40 minutes.
