Steps

  1. 1

    Place 1 cup (about 120 grams) tapioca starch in a bowl. Pour in 1/3 cup (about 100 ml) hot butterfly pea flower water with 1 tablespoon sugar, stir until dissolved, then knead into a dough. Roll into small balls, boil until they float, then soak in the cooking water to keep the pearls soft. Rinse with water to prevent sticking.
