How To Make Chinese/Japanese Bubble Tea - Tea + Tapioca = Party Recipe

Step 3Rinse Your balls.

Rinse Your balls.
Now that you've finished those 2 episodes of Battlestar, your bubbles should be fairly clearish brown and still have a little bit of a bite to them in the center. You're now ready to continue on your journey to sweet tastiness.

Yyou'll need to pour your hot balls into a sieve while rinsing them off with cold tap water. This should solidify the bubbles a bit and keep them from sticking to each other. Once they're cold, pour them into bowls - one bowl per syrup flavor.

Word of advice to anyone: DO not try and substitute the small pearls for the large ones. I sought out the large ones in vain at the local stores in my smaller college town and just went with the small, but they are a PAIN to clean out of the colander/sieve - I was making a larger batch (about 20oz. worth tiny balls) and between the cooking process and rinsing and trying to salvage as many as possible from the colander (where some were pushed through becoming a tapioca goo reminiscent of Super Mario Bros. the Movie), it took me like FIVE FREAKING HOURS for cooking and cleanup. So not fun... On the bright side, I think they turned out okay, although not as pretty looking as the large pearls would have been.
