1 hr

1

COOKING THE PEARLS: In a large pot, bring water to a roaring boil. Add tapioca pearls and immediately lower heat to medium
2

Cook pearls for 10 minutes, stirring occassionally. Cover with a lid, turn off the heat and leave for 3 minutes
3

Drain pearls with a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking and remove the starchy outer layer. Set aside in clean cold water as you prepare the sweetener
4

SWEETENING THE PEARLS: Add the sugar and water to a pot. Cook stirring over medium heat to dissolve the sugar, and then bring it to a boil
5

Cook down the mixture to the desired consistency. Using a slotted spoon, remove pearls from the cold water and transfer them into the syrup
6

Bring the syrup back to a boil and cook a little longer to thicken it (2 - 3 minutes). Take off heat and transfer into a glass jar
7

Use warm as they harden as they cool down. If storing away, just reheat in the oven for a few minutes to soften and make scoopable
