Notes
How to Cook Boba
- Add 8 cups of water to a pot on the stovetop.
- Bring to a boil.
- Pour in boba and stir gently. (I used black sugar boba)
- Watch for the boba bubbles to rise to the top of the pot.
- Once the boba balls have risen, cook for about 3-5 minutes. (You can adjust the time longer or shorter to the amount of chewiness you prefer.)
- Strain out boba and rinse. Pour into a glass bowl and top with brown sugar syrup. Your boba is now ready to use.
