E-FA BRAND Boba Black Tapioca Pearl, Fresh Boba Bubble Tea Ready in 5 Minutes or Microwave in 3 Minutes, (2.2 LB (Pack of 1))

First let me say that I'm a self-admitted, horrible cook. My husband claims I could screw up a wet dream. Yes, I'm that bad.I'm addicted to bubble tea but wanted to make my own, sugar-free version at home since I'm watching my sugar intake. Though I asked the cafe to hold the added sugar, the syrup was still over-the-top with sweetness. They informed me that they do not offer a sugar-free syrup though they are available. So I had to experiment on my own.Here's my recipe for home-made, sugar-free bubble tea. Steep a green tea bag, cook tapioca pearls per instructions on bag (make sure to rinse thoroughly with cold water after cooking), then add lots of ice and Crystal Light Passion Fruit/Mango liquid to the tea for added flavor and sweetness. It was a delicious success for my first attempt! How wonderful is that for a self-confessed, lousy cook!Now about the tapioca pearls which easily cooked to perfection--the best ever in taste and texture plus very easy to make. Honestly, surprised myself as the consistency of the tapioca rivaled that of the bubble tea cafes. Now I keep a container of cooked tapioca handy for my own version of Crystal Light Passion Fruit/Green Tea bubble tea. Intend on branching out to other flavors of bubble tea using Crystal Light as my sweetener and/or "syrup" base. Please try my recipe if you'd like to enjoy bubble tea without all the calories. I'm tickled to be able to enjoy bubble tea any time of the day now, without having to travel and plus pay high, cafe prices for my fix. For a little more than I pay for one serving of bubble tea at the cafe, I can buy 2 lbs. of this wonderful tapioca which will lend for lots of servings of tea!As for the tapioca, I'm sold on this brand and so happy I did my research before placing my order. You won't be disappointed in the quality, consistency, flavor and texture of these tapioca pearls. They are perfection!

So good and easy to make

Good taste and quality! My kiddos rated it 10/10 and said it was like what we get in the stores. Good texture and a super quick cook.

not sweet, so that's good. you can adjust the sweetness to your personal liking. nice texture and tasty. I paired it with thai milk tea and I love it.

Love these boba pearls! For the quality and amount you get, you cannot beat this price! A little tip for keeping your boba pearls last longer; keep in a jar the amount you’re going to use in a week or two (I keep it in the fridge with a paper towel in it to absorb the moisture), and then put the rest in a ziplock bag to store in the freezer. You cook them the same exact way, maybe just a minute or two longer since they are now frozen. I’ve stored them in the freezer for up to 4 months, and they taste just as good as the first day!

Great tapioca boba. I get it when I’ve noticed I’m stopping for boba too much haha. It comes vacuum sealed and it’s super easy to make yourself.

Cooks fast and is delicious

These are okay. I used to work in a bubble tea shop and these just aren’t as good as the ones they sold there. They’re easy to prepare and the consistency and smell isn’t bad. Overall they are a decent price for the amount you get.
