I tried making boba pearls for the first time! After nearly 3 hours of alternating between boiling and turning off the heat, they were only half cooked. 😠If anyone has tips, please share! I think I made a few mistakes: 1) not enough water, 2) didn't stir constantly, 3) added sugar while boiling. Next time, I'll try boiling/simmering for much shorter, turn off the heat, and leave the covered pot on the stove for several hours (add sugar at this point), see where that gets me.
Edit: I talked to a friend who's a boba-making pro, and not having enough water at the start was a big deal: the pot became super saturated with starch, blocking absorption of water by the pearls.
