Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Bring the water for pearls to a rolling boil in a medium pot.

   Ongeveer 3 min

2. 2

   Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water, stir gently to prevent sticking, and cook according to package directions, usually 5-7 minutes for quick-cooking pearls, or until soft and chewy.

   Ongeveer 7 min

   Tip van de kok: Taste a pearl to ensure it's cooked through; it should be soft all the way to the center.

   Toss the rinsed pearls with the granulated sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
