Ingredients

• 1 cup Small tapioca pearls
• 4 cups Water
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tapioca pearls thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the rinsed tapioca pearls to the boiling water and stir gently to prevent clumping. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once the pearls turn translucent with a small white dot in the center, remove the saucepan from heat and let the pearls rest in the hot water for 10 additional minutes.

Step 5

Drain the tapioca pearls using a fine-mesh sieve, then rinse under cold water to cool them down and stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 6

In a separate saucepan, combine granulated sugar, honey, butter, salt, and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to simmer gently.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Add the drained tapioca pearls to the glaze and fold gently to ensure all pearls are evenly coated. Continue cooking for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and clings to the pearls.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the Glazed Pearls cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature as a topping for desserts, in a glass of milk tea, or simply on their own for a delightful treat.
