15 minute ♥ Instant Pot Boba - Easy Make At Home Recipe!

3/31/2020

Hello again!  It's been a while since I've posted and a lot has changed in this world.  There's a pandemic and things have come to a standstill for most people as we shelter in place.  For me personally, it's been hard to balance taking care of my elderly grandparents, while still taking the time to relax and practice self care.  It's during these times, that I often crave a comforting cup of bubble tea to break up the day.  : )

Bubble tea always seems to put a smile on my face so I wanted to share my favorite way to make boba at home using my Instant Pot Mini Duo.  Cooking boba (aka tapioca pearls) isn't hard, and with the help of an Instant Pot, this recipe makes cooking boba easier.  Let's start with the Boba. 
Picture
I'm using a bag of Premium Tapioca Pearls from Bolle brand.  The ingredients in the boba pearls themselves are listed on the package as just Tapioca Starch, Water, Caramel, and Maple Syrup Flavor.  Once the bag is open I keep them stored tightly in a glass mason jar, but the key is to keep the boba dry in an airtight container (no refrigeration needed).
For one serving of boba (this is enough for 1 cup of bubble tea) I use about 1/4 cup of the dry pearls.  Fill up your Instant Pot (IP) with a generous amount of water, and activate the saute feature on the IP so the water comes to a rolling boil.  Add the boba and quickly give it a gentle stir so the pearls won't stick to the bottom.  I like to stir 3 times waiting in between for 20 seconds or so, and usually by the end of the 3rd stir, the pearls are floating by themselves.  
Next, cover and seal your IP and set the Pressure Cooker to 15 minutes on HIGH (Normal) setting and allow it to rest for 15 minutes in keep warm mode after it's done cooking.  My Instant Pot reads L015 (representing 15 minutes in keep warm mode).  Quick release (if needed), then remove the boba to rinse and drain.  

Important Step:  You must use cold water to rinse and drain to stop the cooking process and make your boba chewy!  Don't be shy here!

After draining, you can sweeten your boba with brown sugar (1 tsp.) and let it sit to absorb the sugar.  Boba is best eaten fresh (so cooked and consumed within a few hours).   Enjoy!

How do you keep the left over boba and can still eat the boba separate next time you eat them?

the author recommends using strong visuals and concise copy to grab the viewer's attention. They also suggest using animation sparingly and strategically to avoid overwhelming the audience.

Another aspect of this article that I found particularly helpful was the section on optimizing banners for different devices and platforms. With so many different screen sizes and resolutions to consider, it can be challenging to create a banner that looks great on every device. The author provides some useful guidelines for ensuring that your banner is optimized for desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.
