Ingredients
1 cup large tapioca pearls in assorted colors
8 cups of water
1 can coconut milk (14oz)
1/3 cup sugar
a pinch of salt
a couple drops of vanilla extract
Method:
Bring 7 cups of water to a boil and slowly add tapioca pearls. Once they float up reduce heat to med-low and simmer covered for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another pot bring 1 cup of water, sugar, coconut milk and salt to a boil and then reduce to low heat until sauce thickens. Once tapioca pearls are cooked, strained and add the pears to the coconut sauce. Add vanilla extract, stir and turn the heat off.
Allow about 10 minutes to cool before serving.

Ok, I mentioned Large Size but it’s not like huge or anything. They are about the same size as those you find in the Boba drinks. I hate it when the drinks are good but the Boba are hard and plain – like they are left overs. I like em soft and a bit chewy – not suppose to really eat them because of my braces but oh well.
