Maple Sugar Boba

Want to make your own Boba at home? Get ready to rock your taste buds with Maple Sugar Boba madness!

Toss those tapioca pearls into a dance of flavor with a bold maple twist. It's like your classic boba tea got a rebellious makeover. Embrace the chew, own the maple, and sip on awesome like never before!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup large boba (tapioca pearls)
  • 8 cups water 
  • ¼ cup Maple Sugar

Directions

  1. Bring a medium sized pot of water to a rolling boil. You'll need about 8 cups of water for every 1 cup of tapioca pearls.
  2. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the tapioca pearls to the pot. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Let the pearls simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. The pearls will become soft and translucent when they're cooked. 
  4. Remove the pot from the heat and cover for 15 minutes. 
  5. Once the boba is cooked it will be chewy and have no hard center. If it's still a bit hard in the center, continue to soak until tender.
  6. Once the boba is cooked to your desired consistency, drain them from the water and rinse them under cold water. This will prevent them from sticking together.
  7. To subtly sweeten the boba add ½ a cup of water and the maple sugar. Stir them until the sugar is dissolved. 
  8. Soak the cooked pearls in the maple sugar for an hour before serving.  
  9. Boba is best when fresh, so nosh on them within 24 hours!
