[Just three ingredients]

Don’t let Big Boba dictate how much pearl milk tea you can drink during the boba shortage of 2021! Make it yourself. Andrew Ryan heads into the test kitchen to show you how it’s done. 

CAN YOU FREEZE BOBA? 

The answer is a resounding YES! Rinse the cooked boba and then line them up in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze.

To reheat, break apart the boba into individual balls (might be easier if they thaw slightly). Toss them in boiling water for five minutes, then turn off the heat and let them continue to sit in the covered pot for five more minutes. Remove from the water and add brown sugar to taste. (If you like them less gloopy, rinse in room-temp water before adding the sugar.)
