Better Boba Tapioca Pearls 8 Oz | Classic Kosher Brown Sugar Boba Pearls - Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free - 12 Servings | Boba Balls for Boba Tea, Bubble Tea Drinks

I followed the directions to cook the boba pearls. While they cooked, I made two cups of an easy simple syrup with water and brown sugar. When the boba was done, I added the pearls to the syrup (everything was cool), then put them in individual serving baggies and put them in our freezer. Our kiddos can just pull a pack out, put it in hot water for a few minutes, fill a cup with ice & milk then add the boba & syrup. It’s SO delicious, so much healthier and only cost around $1.25 per cup! This is the way we will make boba from now on. I feel better knowing my kids get the treat they love, but with much cleaner and mostly organic ingredients (all other ingredients are organic).

Honestly I had no idea how many chemicals and non-food oddities were in the average boba drink you buy out at a shop — truly shocking. But I really LOVE boba and didn’t want to give it up. Cue: Better Boba. These bubbles are OUT OF THIS WORLD INCREDIBLE!!!! So easy and fun to make — I sent pictures and videos of the cooking process to my family and it was a really fun activity. At the end I sweetened with a little maple syrup and WOW — it was so much easier to make (and clean up after) than I would have imagined. To make a boba drink I recreated a standard favorite: Black Milk Tea, with decaf earl gray and oat milk. SO GOOD! But after my boba tea was done I wasn’t, so I ate some of the fresh boba bubbles with a spoon and now have a new favorite dessert: Better Boba. Seriously, it’s that good. I want to have it on ice cream, put it in my iced coffee, and live this boba dream life every day. Tip: I’m glad I made the whole package at once because it’s helpful to standby and stir as it bubbles away on the stovetop. The second half of the boba went covered in the fridge overnight and was still good the next day. Now that I’ve had Better Boba — which has deep flavor and consistent smoothness you don’t always get at a boba tea shop — I’m planning to always have it on hand. I’m so thank this product exists. I’d buy it by the bucket-full if I could. Thank you. Thank you, Better Boba! Customer for life!

I bought these because I love bubble tea but my local shop puts sugar syrup in everything and I was looking for a sugar-free alternative. I should have read better because these are made with brown sugar and had I realized that I would not have bought them. I prepared them according to package directions. First, they are clear green, not the dark color like at the shop. That’s ok, especially if it means no junk. Second, they are smaller than the ones at the bubble tea shop. I guess I can live with that, but I would have liked them to be the size of blueberries rather than the size of peas. But, the deal breaker for me, is the texture is not the same as the tea shop. The ones at the shop are chewy but these are softer. I’ll finish the ones I have but I won’t buy them again because they are smaller and have a different texture and are made with brown sugar. If I could give 3.5 stars I would, because they are not awful. But they are not the same as the tea shop, which is what I was looking for.

I really like the flavor of the pearls they just slightly sweet and a good texture however, the pearls are really only good the day you make it. The second day they got very sticky and dry. I will try again but only cook a portion of them at a time and use them that day. Mine cooked in the instant pot. I may have left them in there an extra 10 minutes so I will be more on it next time and see if it improves the texture. All in all, it's nice to find a healthy pearl for tea.

These are a terrible, and not a good value. They overestimate how many servings, is in the package. They assume 1 serving is very few boba.

This is a great tasting boba. A lot of you ended up with sticky or big blobs. You overcooked it. If you are making half, you still need lots of water. 8 to 10 cups for half the bag. Use a big and wide pot, this keeps it from sticking. Let it come to a boil first. Slowly add the boba, don't dump it. Keep stirring. After this you want to stir every 3 to 4 minutes to make sure they don't stick. After you add your boba, reduce your heat. It should still be boiling but not a lot, but more than a simmer. You boil for 40 minutes. At this point, your boba should be somewhat clear. Taste one. If it is the right consistency for you, you do not have to let it rest. When done, strain and rinse in cold water while STIRRING. Then store boba in brown sugar or sugar syrup. If you store in fridge for next day, warm in microwave. First day it tastes best.

Totally tasteless!!!! They were pasty to the touch and completely tasteless. Do not recommend at all!!! We were having a Boba Birthday party and we threw out a whole bag of these Bobas. Wasted my money. I had to give it a one to have this submitted but it’s not even a one!

Phenomenal boba! The instructions were easy to follow and the boba turned out great. I soaked them in brown sugar syrup for a few minutes before adding them to my drink for a little extra sweetness. I love this boba so much and knowing it is gluten free and all natural makes it worth it to me to continue to make my own at home rather than spending so much money buying it from boba shops!
