you might be wondering how to cook tapioca pearls. to cook tapioca pearls and make bubble tea, boil 10 cups of water for every 1 cup of tapioca pearls. and since tapioca pearls are nearly flavorless, you may want to sweeten them with a bit of honey, sugar, or stevia. just boil the tapioca pearls in water for 4 minutes, until they are all floating, and then drain/set aside.
