Tapioca Pearl Black Bubble Tea 1kg (Pack of 2)

Things I wish I'd known: I didn't quite realise what was involved in these tapioca pearls. Firstly when it says 2 bags, it's worth noting these are 1kg pearls per bag. The Best Before date is 8 Dec 2024 which is only 3 months away! They recommend you make 1 cup of pearls to 10 cups of boiling water. The pearls must rise to the surface, medium heat covered for 4 minutes, turn off heat for 3 minutes, then cold water for 20 seconds...then into a dry bowl with honey or sugar...(Don't know how long to do this for). Any left over pearls need to be used within 4 hours of cooking! I used a third of a cup. Then it says something about the remainder needing to be refridgated - not sure if this means the dry pearls which would take quite a big space in the fridge.Any ideas how long to soak the pearls in honey/sugar? Or how to store the dry pearls would be appreciated.Also though these say they are caramel flavour I would say there is no flavour to them until you soak them in the sugar in the final step.Aside from that they seem ok.

It doesn't taste same as boba prepared in boba shop but not bad to give a try to prepare on your own at home. After preparation, I soak it in honey for better taste

They smell weird. overall tastes good

Purchased these and when they arrived saw the best before on both packs was only a few weeks away - which considering the pack size and use of these is very poor. Have tried setting up a return via Amazon, but it says they are 'not eligible for return' with no further information. I would advise avoiding this seller/item.

It’s normal boba balls and easy to make saves money in the long run and can make boba at home
