Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. cooked sago pearls
- 1 cup milk of choice
- ice cubes as desired
- 1/2 cup hot boiling water + 1 tea bag you can either choose black tea or jasmine green tea
- 1 tbsp. syrup of choice
Instructions
Cook the sago pearls
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Use about 10 cups of water for every cup of sago pearls to ensure they have enough space to cook evenly. Add the sago pearls in and stir to prevent sticking. Keep the water to boiling so the pearls will not stick together in the cooking process.
- After 15 minutes, the sago pearls will become translucent with a small white dot in the center, indicating they are almost done. Now cover the lid and set aside for around 15 minutes until they are thoroughly cooked.
- Rinse under running water to remove the stickiness on the surface and then add some white sugar or syrup to coat them.
Assemble sago boba
