How to enjoy it.

One cup is one serving. Pearls go in last, after the ice and the pour. A thin skin, a juicy centre, and that little burst when you bite. How to use popping pearls: cold, last, never cooked.

  1. Open the cup.

    Peel the lid.

  2. Add the pearls.

    Last, after the ice and the pour. Sparkling water, iced tea or fresh fruit are good places to start.

  3. Bite.

    A thin skin, a juicy centre, and that little burst when you bite.

Three rules, then improvise.

  • Pearls go in last

    They sit where you put them for a while, then settle. Add them after the ice, after the pour, after the plating.

  • Cold or room temperature

    Pearls are a finish, not an ingredient you cook. They are never boiled, baked, blended or shaken with ice.

  • One cup, one serving

    The cup does the portioning. Two glasses, two cups — nothing to measure and nothing left over.

One 40 ml cup is one serving, so every recipe counts pearls by the cup rather than in grams. Recipes marked for the bar are for licensed venues and adults. Nothing on this page is a claim about what the pearls do.
