Start the flaming coils, and boil 1 liter of water for every 1 cup of tapioca bubbles in a large pot.

If the tapioca balls wont talk you should loosen them up by pouring them into the boiling water and then set the temperature to medium. It's important to keep moving the bubbles around otherwise they will buddy up with the pan and each other ,and it'll be hard to pry them apart. This takes a few hours so we decided to shizzle over to the lounge area with the hot plate and set it up on top of a cooler.

Keep mixing and checking on the color as it cooks - the exterior should turn clear while the innards should retain a brownish tint. Continue stirring until you have finished watching the first two episodes of Battle Star Galactica.

Fun fact: "Bubble Tea" actually refers to the tea bubbles when the drink is shaken with ice, instead of the tapioca. Or so I hear. Regardless, awesome instructable: I had never heard of bubble tea, but it was amazing! Green jasmine tea and orange-infused syrup... Awesome!
