@@spicymice8883 Yeah. My mom is almost 40 and everyone that doesn’t know her thinks she’s about 28 because of how small she is. It sucks when you’re a teenager like me because everyone thinks you’re like 12 but when you get older it’s probably pretty nice😂

[@ssydddd07]

i saw this and i quickly started making it. it wasn’t till after when i watched when you guys said it didn’t taste good. for my boba, it didn’t have a weird taste, just a weird texture. it tasted pretty good and when cooking the dough on the stove, it automatically became dough for me. also, i love you and your mom!

[@JoelyLynny]

I did the same thing lol

[@Queen_edits12]

Samee and I am waiting for the boba to boil

[@Lovely_Mango]

I’m not patient but I was afraid this might happen so I just look in comments-

[@Luvher_zoe]

I did the same thing too

[@sap_syrup.]

yeahhh I did the same thing 🥲

[@tommi_sharp]

I never realized how long meimei's hair is. I love it!

[@mercuryblackmon3249]

I feel like the pearls are better when you add a flavor instead of water. (Like I used coffee instead of water ☕) Or cut up some strawberries and puree them and get the chucks out to use instead of water. (This method takes longer and requires a lot more gentle attention but it's also very good)

[@imacat3383]

Using glutenous rice flour works! Especially if you want to make your own boba ice cream. It is basically brown sugar mochi :P.

[@luluboo24]

I want to make boba, but they don't have it in my country. 🥲

[@anastasiawasylinko5482]

I randomly stumbled on your videos and now have a craving for boba. I'm having a boba-making fest with friends tomorrow, so that should help!

[@nathanielbusby2515]

You may have to stir it more aggressively because of the cornstarch, it's a reaction where if it is let alone with liquid it is runny but if it is being forcefully moved it solidifies

[@bunnii9397]

Sad because I really wanted to try this because they dont sell tapioca starch anywhere near me

[@W8LLOW]

That’s why it cornstarch?

[@TotallyNotJuniper]

Yes it’s corn starch not tapioca

[@maggiesworld2706]

Yes but if you look in the gluten free section there is usually tapioca FLOUR not starch hope that helps 😁

[@Jiminieeeeeee]

​@@maggiesworld2706but it's the same??

[@maggiesworld2706]

@@Jiminieeeeeee yes

[@Mimi4ever2]

I actually tried boba without any starch at all! I mixed the water sugar and self raising flour and then added in a cup of normal plain flour! It was so easy and delicious.

[@gautiergueguen]

Flour is mostly starch.

[@luluboo24]

You used plain flour to make your boba??

[@e.m.a.i1425]

Ooh😮

[@hibss_]

Don't try it people, I did but it tasted like plane flour

[@maisasparkles]

@@hibss_you probably madeit wrong

[@vixt0r1aa]

when cornstarch is mixed with water (or any other liquid) it makes this cool solid/liquid consistency, its hard when u hit it or when u let it sit it melts!! super fun to play with

[@bloody_rainbow3928]

I undercooked mine but it still worked pretty good I would recommend waiting until you can touch it without it getting stuck to your hands at all Update: I mushed them all together and cooked an extra 15 minutes and it turned out great in future I would definitely add some flavor tho since it was pretty bland and wasn't absorbing the syrup like normal boba maybe I overcooked idk

[@bakedbean5359]

Do they have the same texture as normal boba?? I love tapioca boba and I’m scared it won’t taste the same lmaooo

[@sap_syrup.]

Same lol

[@kwaxmi]

since i have a vietnamese mom, we often have tapioca starch lol

[@___EREN__YEAGER___]

See you take 1tb of brown sugar , 42ml of water and 3tb of cornstarch and mix well I added a bit of colour the keep on low heat and cook within two minutes for me it started to thicken . Then it will be a bit sticky so put it on a plate and knead it with a bit of cornstarch then cut into pieces and add into boiling water and cook until all are floating then strain the excess water and make brown sugar syrup and cook well until sticky and serve with your favourite tea ..

[@cheesehater101]

It happens a lot! I suggest using hot water and slowly mixing the starch

[@heiltotheking]

I'd say steam or microwave the mix. Then knead it until it starts coming together and stiffens up. It'll be too stiff to form balls, but I ususally chop it into strings like konjac noodles or into small cubes. It becomes chewy and bouncy like tapioca. Do NOT boil them or they'll just fall apart.
