1. In a medium saucepan, bring approximately 2 cups of water to a vigorous boil. Introduce the dried tapioca pearls into the boiling water, stirring gently to avoid sticking. Boil the pearls for 20-30 minutes until they achieve a soft, translucent texture, stirring occasionally. Drain and rinse the pearls with cold water to halt the cooking process. Set aside.
