The first thing you need to do is to cook your tapioca pearls. Get your pot, and put it on your stove. Then turn on your stove and put as many pearls you would like. On the package of your tapioca pearls, it should say how many minutes you need to cook it. My package says cooks in 5 minutes. You can cook the tapioca pearls a little bit longer if you want the pearls to be chewier. Once the tapioca floats to the top of the water, take one pearl out and taste it. If you think it's ready, then you're good to go.

Blend the Ingredients

After you've cooked your tapioca pearls, you need to wash your strawberries. You should wash 3-7 strawberries, but it depends on your preference. Once you've washed your strawberries, put the strawberries inside of your blender. Make sure your blender is washed and clean before you use it. Then, add some water. You will need about 1 cup of water. After you've poured your water, add a splash of milk. You can add a bit more if you like. Now get your sugar and pour 1/3 of a cup or more. Once you've got all your ingredients in the blender, blend all the ingredients together.

Put Everything Together

Once you've blended your ingredients, pour your drink into a cup. Then drain the water in the pot with the tapioca pearls. Add the tapioca pearls in the smoothie. Grab your straw and put it in the drink. Enjoy your strawberry boba!

Conclusion

In conclusion, strawberry boba is pretty easy to make. There weren’t any problems when I was making it, but if you’re going to make strawberry boba, I suggest you use a little less ice when you’re making it, since mine turned out kind of slushee like. But you can add as much ice as you want. It really depends on your preference. Besides that little minor problem, strawberry boba is really easy to make! I hope you enjoy your strawberry boba!
