Instructions
- In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the tapioca pearls and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until they are tender and chewy.
- While the boba is cooking, in a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of passion fruit pulp, 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of simple syrup. Mix well until combined.
- Once the boba is cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
- In a large pitcher, combine the lemon-passion fruit mixture with 2 cups of ice cubes and stir until chilled. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional simple syrup if necessary.
- To serve, place a few tablespoons of cooked tapioca pearls in the bottom of each glass. Pour the passion fruit lemonade over the boba, filling the glass about three-quarters full.
- Garnish each glass with a sprinkle of lime zest and a few fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw for sipping the boba and enjoy the refreshing tanginess!
