Notes
The consistency of the final drink should be thin and creamy. Therefore, we recommend using milks with less fat (1%, skim, almond, oat, etc.). If you use thicker milk (soy, 2%, whole, etc.), you can add up to 1/4 cup water to get the desired consistency.
Boba pearls can be found in most Asian Markets, near the tea and instant coffees. We recommend purchasing normal boba pearls over fast-cook bobas (ie. "ready in 5 minutes" or ones that claim "no cooking is required") because they don't turn out very soft and chewy.
In general, you can expect most store-bought pearls to take about 40 minutes to prep (about 20 minutes for boiling, then 20 minutes of resting before use).
