Reduce head to Medium and cover the pot with a tight lids. Make sure the pot is big enough so boiling tapioca water will not spill over. Set timer for 20 min and keep the lids on all the time. This will help the tapioca pearl have a consistent in chewiness.

After 20 min, turn off the heat. While stirring the pot, add 3-5 Tbsp of sugar into the pot and close the lid for another 20 min. This will allow the tapioca to soak in some sweet taste, which add a much better taste in the cup of sweet milk tea. (I hate it when the drink is sweet and the tapioca has no taste!!)

I followed this recipe for cooking the tapioca pearls but at the end there was stil white powder in the center so I cooked them a few more rounds and they became so weak that they weren't balls, they were like jiggley puddles. I'm wondering if the reason this happened was because they were a different brand and they were jumbo sized. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

When I make tapioca pearls, I wait until they get plumper than their dry state. Then I cover them, turn the heat to medium & boil them for 5 minutes. They come out the right consistency & aren't still hard.
