QuestionIs there a way to make the tapioca pearls at home?Community AnswerAdd boiling water to tapioca starch slowly until the tapioca starch feels like playdough and make it into little balls. If you want them to be a certain color, add a couple of drops of food coloring while adding the boiling water. Put the "boba balls" on the parchment paper for a couple of hours so they can harden.

QuestionWhere can I get the tapioca balls for bubble tea?Community AnswerYou can often find these in Asian grocery stores. Avoid buying the dry hard pearls as the moisture is not evenly distributed and they will have a raw centre after boiling. Buy the pearls that are semi-softened and follow the wikiHow instructions, but boil them for 5 minutes. You can also try to make tapioca balls using tapioca flour, again following the instructions on wikiHow.
