Florida Orange Juice Bubble Tea Recipe

Place water in large pot and bring to a boil. Add tapioca pearls; tapioca will float in the water. Cover and boil for 25 minutes. Remove one pearl; cut in half to check if tapioca is cooked through. If center of tapioca is still mealy, continue cooking and check every 5 minutes. When tapioca pearls are thoroughly cooked, turn heat off, cover pan and let tapioca sit in water for 25 minutes. Rinse the cooked tapioca pearls in warm water; drain well.

Place cooked tapioca pearls in bottom of a clear glass. Pour syrup over tapioca pearls, if desired. Place ice on top of tapioca pearls.  Fill to top of glass with Florida Orange Juice.

Serve with straw just slightly wider than tapioca pearls. Tapioca pearls and straws available at Asian specialty markets.
