Cooking the jelly mixture
Next, take a pot, add 800ml of water along with the bowl of sugar and jelly powder that you just mixed, and use a whisk to stir well until the mixture is dissolved.
Then, put the pot on the stove over medium heat, while continuously stirring with the whisk and cook for about 10 minutes.
When you see the mixture boil and change to a more opaque white color, cook for an additional 2 minutes, then add all of the butterfly pea flower extract, continue to stir well, and cook for another 3 – 5 minutes.
When the jelly mixture comes to a boil again, you can turn off the heat!
Tip: Avoid letting the jelly mixture clump together; when adding the sugar and jelly powder to the water, you should do it slowly while continuously stirring.-1.jpg "2 Ways to Make Beautiful Blue Butterfly Pea Pearl at Home 8")

Shaping the tapioca pearls
After cooking the jelly mixture, take a bowl and add 100ml of water along with some ice cubes. When the ice water is cold, add 100ml of cooking oil.
At the same time, pour the jelly mixture into a squeeze bottle and gradually squeeze the jelly mixture into the bowl of cold ice water. Continue this process until all the jelly mixture is used up.
Next, rinse the tapioca pearls directly under running water to clean them, then transfer them to a bowl. Finally, add the remaining 50gr of sugar along with the juice of 1/2 a lime, and mix well to complete!
Tip:- To save time, you can use cold water to make the ice water chill faster.
- If you want the tapioca pearls to have a nice round shape, squeeze them in the area with cooking oil!
