The time it takes to boil boba (also how long to boil bobaknown as bubble tea pearls or tapioca pearls) can vary depending on the type and brand of boba you are using. In general, most boba brands will need to be boiled for around 10-15 minutes.

Here are some general steps for boiling boba:

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

  2. Add the boba to the pot of boiling water.

  3. Stir the boba gently to prevent them from sticking together.

  4. Let the boba boil for 10-15 minutes or until they become soft and chewy.

  5. Turn off the heat and let the boba sit in the hot water for a few more minutes (usually 5-10 minutes) to ensure that they are fully cooked.

  6. Drain the boba and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.

  7. If you are using the boba immediately, add them to your drink. If not, store them in a container with some sugar syrup to prevent them from drying out.

It's always a good idea to read the instructions on the package of boba you are using as cooking times and methods can vary depending on the brand.
