Chef's Notes
I like buying the 5 minute bobas for this, a plus if they're the microwavable version! Just follow package instructions and they come out perfectly~
So far, most of the 5 min bobas I've found can be microwaved, use ½ cup boba, add a little more than ¾ cup or about 7/8 cup of water and microwave for 3 mins and leave it until the boba floats before draining.
