- This recipe uses good old fashioned Boba vs. the quick cooking pearls. If you're a fan of bubble tea, you should try making this at home to add in Taiwanese Milk Tea or for desserts. ***Jan 2015 update: I found this new brand of boba that cooks better. Cooking directions and brand comparison are in my new video: • How to make Bubble Tea...
It's Bolle brand of Premium Tapioca Pearls. Total active cooking time of 20 mins + 25 mins. resting covered.
Where to buy: If you can find it in stock at your local Asian grocery store, it's worth picking up a package to cook in small batches. You'll find the best price in stores, but honestly I've been keeping an eye out for months and this brand goes quickly. I'm guessing all the bubble tea shops use this one. ;)
Online: It looks to be more expensive but Amazon sells it with free shipping. amzn.to/1wtRf4i
Ingredients: Tapioca Starch, Water, Caramel Maple Syrup Flavor

Anyone else just watching this cause they want bubble tea?
Brissa Garcia yep lol
_BrissaForever 13 yup I bought some cause Texas doesn't do Asian food right
_BrissaForever 13 yup
Yesss
How did u know...?
It says cooked from scratch, but it's premade boba?
*pre made
The title is misleading. It's only fitting to rename the title, don't you think?
It is tapioca pearls. Cheap @ oriental market.
It’s cuz the boba can kill you if it’s not cooked right so they cook so it’s safe
RIGHT??? UGH
Out of all videos I watched from trying to learn how to make sweet boba, this has by far been my favorite one 💖

After 1 hour of letting it sit covered, you'll need to cook for 10 minutes more or until done.
Cooked boba is only typically good for the day, so it's best to consume it fresh. If you have to store it for a few hours, put it in a container. Just make sure to cover the boba ever so slightly with a bit of honey/sugar dissolved in a mixture of room temperature water. This will prevent the bubbles from sticking together. (not too much liquid is needed for this) If you refrigerate the boba, the texture will change and it won't be as good the next day (Trust me. I've tried). You can also just use up any leftover bubbles to make Milk Tea and share with Friends. :) Here's my video on how to Make Taiwanese Milk Tea. th-cam.com/video/CU-WVa-f1Lo/w-d-xo.html

Thank you
3:26 I was so scared right there that she was just going to dump the boba into the sink! XD
Not to be a troll but the title said how to make from scratch, she used dry bobas 🤔 ..
I had the same thought
You can actually make the dry boba with tabioca starch and make it yourself and I guess she premade them
It says how to cook** lol
I'm happy she at least did this. Others say "from scratch" but then only show the shakes
That's true
they look like cocoa puffs at first
Angel Wong's Kitchen Im trying to start a boba place its going to be called nate's boba but im only 13 right now im going to save up money till im 18 or 19 and then I will open the shop.
That's really awesome, you should totally go for it!
You still doing it kid
So.....hows nate's boba going?
Are you still planning on doing it?
Omg ! You still going to do this now that you’re older ??
I got here because of Agents of Shield, I had never even heard of BOBA Tea or Any other BOBA, 😁 I actually thought it was something made up to relace Starbucks until I Googled it. I would LOVE to try BOBA now. It seems like it would be really good.
😱😱😱 you shouldddddddd
@@ninabiancagrepo6617 I would Love too, but there is No BOBA places around here. I live South of Charlotte NC in SC, & I had NEVER heard of it, but I definitely IF I had the opportunity too
retitle to 'how to cook boba'..not from scratch.
Mike l TRIGGERED
ye, i was 'triggered' but after giving it some thought, mabbe that city girl doesn't even know what it meant 'making it from scratch', coz wat they saw at shopping mall are all ready made products. can't blame them...city folks.
@@lm2193 She actually made a video about making boba like really make homemade boba. You just gotta ask her for the link of the video.
Spaide man she ain’t even a city girl wtf are you on about 💀
While letting it simmer for half an hour, would it be on high or low heat?
Simmer means low bubbles. That all depends on your type of stove. For most people it would be low to medium low but you just have to watch your own pot of boba
How is this from scratch? Bagged is not from scratch. I was hoping to see the process :\
+Janeth Alfaro Sorry for the confusion! Here's my video where I used actual tapioca flour to make the boba: th-cam.com/video/QgvxjAidttQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! That was awesome! Thank you! :D
It says cooked lol
@@stephk3221 It may have been edited to be that way.
Video Update: I found this great boba brand that cooks easily (total of 45 mins. cooking time). Check out the brand & ingredients in the video's description box above.
+Angel Wong's Kitchen what's the shelf life after cooking?

Have you ever made this with splenda?
I have an important question. my tapioca pearls are firm and do not burst what can I do differently
I thought this video is how to make Boba from Scratch! So SCRATCH means from the tapioca flour to the finished product. Anyone could go to the supermarket, buy a bag of tapioca, read the instructions, cook, simmer, rinse, eat. But anyway, doing this for 2 hours is insanely a large chunk of time. ok, gimme a large cup.
+enjoy5566 If you want to see the boba made from tapioca flour, it's in my Giant Boba video here: th-cam.com/video/QgvxjAidttQ/w-d-xo.html I also have an updated boba and brand comparison video where it takes less time to cook the boba: th-cam.com/video/lsxcFb1qjLI/w-d-xo.html
I thought from scratch meant you made the pearls, too
When they say "making bread from scratch", I don't think they mill the wheat..do you?
@@SaraZion personally, I grow my own wheat for the bread
How long does it last and how do you store it?
2 advices...
1. do not boiled without stir it hahahah
2. dont leave it on water over night...
sadly i made that mistake twice
it takes about 2 hrs not 6+ hrs
Thank you 🙏🏽 the instructions on the back are totally incorrect
,,,,,,, yes and you Kitchen is beautiful ......
please change your misleading title.. its not from stratch
bruh this was so helpful. I have this kind of boba and i never figured it out how to cook it. THANK You
thank you! :)
Thank you very much for the demo Ms. Wong! Always have wondered how to cook one of these in my life but absolutely had no clue about it.
Hi, Thanks for creating this great video! I have a quick question... After its cooked and cooled does it keep in the fridge? (About how long does it keep nicely?) Thanks so much!:)
i tried this and its soooo good its the perfect anount of chewiness and its not too sweet
Glad you liked it!!
Does anyone else feel like they are watching Interdimentional cable TV?
You shouldn't call this video "made from scratch" since the tapiocas was made already, all you have to do was bring them to a boil. Your video is just instructing what is written on the back of those uncooked tapioca band bags. Nothing on this video is made from scratch. Personally I think this video is pointless. *Smh
Lemon8talk Actually, the bag I bought had no instructions in english so this was very helpful.
Thanks, I love you for this video
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyy...... that's not scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatch....???? "You're not cooking it from scratch if you're using ingredients already made." You should take out the "scratch" part in the title.
You're not cooking it from scratch if you're using ingredients already made.
It's in Chinese, but you can look for a big "Q" on the front of the orange and green bag. From a company called Ta Chin Foods made in Taichung city in Taiwan. I've seen this brand sold in many asian supermarkets.
You saved my Boba!!! Thanks for the post!!
Do we need to put Brown sugar??
They look perfect! Definitely trying this!
Oh! I just read through all of the comments and answered my own question! Thanks again for your great video:)
EVERYTHING about preparing the Boba is totally wrong, LOL wtf ICE... u want to do the exact opposite and keep them warm.... when they hit the liquid u put them in they are already chewy enough... weird....
delish boba recopes love your homemade Taro bubble smoothie, great there is a taro mix available. thx Angel
i did try it, is work good, thanks Angel. :) :).....
Hi...... Did u put suger and honey in same boil water ?
I think she does, because the recipe requires equal parts honey and brown sugar
Thank you! I have 2 bags of this but dont know how to cook it
Who cares if the title is misleading? This was very helpful to me! 👍
Title clearly reads Cook Boba from scratch not make Boba from scratch. Love your videos!
why does my boba keep this hard light colored center. Ive tried various "cooking routines" some of which take quite a while so I don't know why it's still uncooked in the center. (sometimes the outside has even started disintegrating) maybe I'm just using a poor brand. I'm using "jumbo boba tapioca balls" which has a yellow and black packaging. the directions tell me to cook them for 40 minutes, add more water and cook for another 40 minutes, yet the results are as I just stated. Some boba expert here that could help me out?
I really loke this video. I actually made some boba, but, my stepsnwere a bit different. I'm going to try this method next time. Thanks for this video.🥰🥰🥰
The best boba cooking recipe out there! Made it this way before and definitely will be doing it again, thank you!
Dear Angel :
I am Chinese. My English not so good, but I had to learn the recipe. This youtube is so good to me, but I don't understand. Would you have the entire speaking written in words? so I can learn it little by little. A man who really want learn this recipe. Thanks your kindly help.
Omg I just failed making boba 🧋 third time…. My pearls literally dissolved in water while boiling 😭😭😭
Amazing video!
NATIONAL BOBA DAY
I made them and they were sooo good even tho they were a tiny bit less chewier than in the bubble tea shop but it wasn’t that bad. I made a bit much and it was at night so I stored them in the fridge and the next day they weren’t chewy anymore so I was kinda sad but they were still good👍 will definitely redo again ❤️❤️❤️
Anyone know how to store them ? Can we refrigerat them ? Will it be possible?
how long can cooked tapioca pearls be stored? or best way to store them?
Unfortunately boba 🧋 doesn’t store well. It’s best to consume shortly after making it.
Angel squad
how to make boba from scratch.. step 1: buy a boba........??????
Aren't Boba suppoused to be black not brown? I'm confused... I'm trying to copy a boba tea shop near me.
Can I skip the rinsing with cold water cuz I hate super chewy boba
thank you!!
I use this recipe to this day and it's great😚
If you are making this, take note her times are way off. Mine cooked in about 2 hours more than hers. Waste of time and It got me really angry smh
Thank you . Great help for my cooking hoby
Since bubble tea is a timeless trend over the world now, this video wil help many many ppl😂😂🙈
How many grams is in your “bag of boba”? :)
Wait a minute, scratch doesn't mean from boba already made to the shape ready to boil...
my tapioca pearls always harden when i put them in ice or into cold drinks. does anyone know how to prevent this?
im indonesian and the most hard word to spell in indonesian to a non-indonesian person is bunga that means flower.
That’s not from scratch though…. It’s ready made boba.
Thanks! Btw your kitchen is so airy and bright. I love it !
1 thing I do to keep the boba from sticking to the pot is use a steamer basket that fits in the pot
mine took 7 hours to fully cook
Yum 😋 great recipe
Loved it
😊
Lol this is basically how to sweeten boba pearls not boba from scratch
Can we use light brown sugar too?
Thank you for posting this video! I have fallen in love with Mango Slushy Boba. I wanted to learn how to make the Boba myself, so I can do it at home instead of always buying from one of my favorite restaurants called Bubble Crab in Hayward, CA. Bubble Crab is my favorite place for Crab and Boba Slushy's! Now thanks to you I now have the knowledge to do the Boba slushy myself. Hopefully it comes out good =)
Whaaaat a place with Boba and crab like two of my favorite things. Woohoo and Hayward isnt even that far!
Not exactly from scratch, if you already have the boba
Am I the only one that thought those were Coco Puffs
Looooooove your kitchen !!
How much is one bag of boba? One pound? Two cups? Etc
0:37 so one bag of dry boba means “from scratch”? Lmao
you do realize she titled it as "cooking boba from scratch" and not "making boba from scratch", right?
Great video
Can we use white sugar instead of brown sugar..
Hi just wanna ask how long is shelf life of a cooked boba?? Is it advisable if we can cook huge portion of bobas and store it in fredge for about 3 to 5 days? Is it still ok to use it with milk teas???
Desiree Dacalos Unfortunately, cooked boba is best served fresh (the same day or within a few hours of cooking). When you refrigerate the boba, the texture won't be the same and it will become almost stale like. If you want to keep it for use later in the day, add a small amount of a water and sugar mixture just enough to coat the boba so they don't stick together, and cover with a lid. And yes, they go well with milk tea. Check out my videos if you need good recipes for milk tea. :)
when she voiceovers she sounds like kim kardashian 😭😭😂😂😂
Omg angel’s voice is so adorable -
Ignorant question is boba the same as tapioca pearls? If not what’s the difference?
they're the same :D
That boba looks white and hard in the center
Do you know how to make those crystal boba?
Thank you I love your video. #delicious
I like bubble tea, but i stop eating boba since i found out it is really bad for health.
I think the only bad thing about it is if you get the kind that has maleic acid in in. (I think that's what it's called) Just make sure the type you get doesn't have it in it, and it's ok.
Corinna Wu Yeah, sometimes you can find it online.
That STOVE and that All-Clad pot. NOICE
what if it was the quick 5 min type?
Is this a bad thing to consume
hm...yummy , i like tapioca :-)
Why do mine always break???
but when u add the honey and brown sugar then u rinse it dosent it take out all the sugar and honey ?
Raffy Colis When the boba is cooking, it will absorb the water along with the honey/ brown sugar. Rinsing it afterwards will only cool it down.
What about prolonged storage ?
Quick question, when u MAKE the pearl some people put hot water into the topics flour and u put normal water and the dough came out different will it taste the same? PLZ REPLY I AM GOIN TO MAKE IT
Holy Diabetes lots of sugar
Hi great video. But the boba I bought takes 30minutes to cook. Is it the same as your one? And please teach us how to make peach bubble tea with the peach syrup. Or green apple or strawberry bubble tea with the powder. Thank u!
KELSEY NGKOO Different brands of boba will have different cook times. If you want to see the brand I'm using now, check out my boba comparison video. th-cam.com/video/lsxcFb1qjLI/w-d-xo.html
I actually did watch it a couple of times!
the fk instant boba not even step by step
