Guide to Making Black Sugar Bubble Pearls
Ingredients for Black Sugar Bubble Pearls
- 125g tapioca starch
- 10g cocoa powder (or rice flour/tapioca starch if cocoa powder is not available)
- 60g black sugar
- 5g tapioca starch
- 70ml water
- 50ml water (used in the final step)
- 35g brown sugar

Procedure
Here is the guide on how to make fragrant chewy bubble milk tea:
- Prepare the flour: Mix 125g tapioca starch and 10g cocoa powder in a bowl.
- Make black sugar syrup: In a pot, combine 60g black sugar, 5g tapioca starch, and 70ml water. Place the pot on low heat and stir until the mixture completely melts. Once the mixture becomes thick, turn off the heat. Immediately pour the mixed tapioca starch and cocoa powder into the pot, stirring evenly.
- Mix bubble tea flour: Spread the mixture on the table and knead while still warm. At first, the flour may be slightly loose and hot, but after a few minutes, it will become softer.
- Create bubble pearls: Divide the dough into 4 parts, spread each part into a long shape, then use a knife or dough cutter to divide each part into small pieces (about 0.5cm).
- Prevent the pearls from sticking: After forming the pearls, sprinkle tapioca starch to prevent them from sticking together.
- Cook the pearls: Pour the pearls into boiling water, make sure the water is enough to completely cover the pearls. Simmer for about 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the pearls rest in the pot for 30 minutes to evenly soften and reach a delicious chewy texture.
- Create perfect sweetness for pearls: Cook the pearls with 50ml water and 35g brown sugar. When the mixture boils, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. This step will enhance the sweetness of the pearls without being too sweet.
